    They don’t make a lot of money. Neither does YouTube.

    because YouTube doesn’t pay

    Who said that? Most I’ve heard speak on this topic argue the complete opposite.

      Honestly, I agree with you with that. YouTube pays creators a lot, technically we shouldn’t be removed about the presence ads, because it’s how they stay afloat, that’s just how it works. My main issue is the sheer amount of them nowadays. I used to gladly watch the ads, but it went from one or two before and after each video, to heaps of midrolls every couple minutes. It’s not the ads that annoy me, it’s the amount of them, which is the reason I use an ad blocker (which tbh applies to most of the Internet nowadays)

        Oh yeah I agree, I 100% don’t care. Creators can upload their videos somewhere else that’s not owned by Google.
