He’s not wrong that it is a fucked up thing that happened that genuinely is the result of shitty people being shitty.

He is wrong that it is a Pandora’s box moment as the result of leftist extremist policies.
Hey, believe in yourself, that semicolon belongs there if you believe it belongs there.
Hot damn the onions still got it.
lol I called you a dingus for making a what I saw as a dumb comment and the mods took offense and deleted it to protect you.
I agree that some people will ask bad faith questions in bad faith as an effort to derail or disrupt actual debate. But I think this a poor example and debatable at best. Sorry I called you a dingus I guess. That better mods?
Definitely a fair assessment.
You’re a dingus.
Why are yall downvoting a question? Fr there’s no indication this was asked in bad faith. Are yall just morons?
Nebula is a streaming service created by creators as an alternative to YouTube and is absolutely worth supporting. We’re not just talking about products here, we’re talking about the creators that make those products viable.
So the alternative is to manage a subscription for every single creator I watch? Currently I sub to Nebula and YT premium. For ~$20 a month. If I were to go through and sub to every creator I watch’s lowest patreon tier, we’d be talking about dozens of individual subs totaling probably more than double what I pay now.
I’m not arguing against ad blockers but seriously, what do you think is going to happen if everyone uses an ad blocker and doesn’t pay for a service? You get Google pushing Manifest V3 as fast as they can. You get the huge arms race with the biggest tech firms doing everything they can to eliminate any and all kinds of ad blocking.
It’s not about the amount of money you individually generate for a creator. It’s about the net effect of everyone running adblockers.
I get the vast majority of people don’t use ad blockers. But just wow does it feel like people dont spend more than three seconds thinking about anything.
So your suggestion is to manage 15 subscriptions instead of one? Not every creator has a patreon or means of direct support. Not to mention some of these creators only upload once a year. And what happens when I want to watch someone new? Do I have to drop another creator to give this new person money
If you’re watching youtube and signed into an account you said goodbye to that level of privacy so long ago that an ad blocker isn’t going to do much.
And you have the agency and ability to either pay for the service or investigate other means of avoiding them. Complaining about them is just annoying.
Or suck it up and pay for the service if you can afford it.
Just out of curiosity, what do yall expect to happen when the only response to an ad supported free tier of something, is to block the ads? I know YouTube/google aren’t great companies, but when you run an ad blocker you also deprive the creators you love watching any revenue from your view. So you hurt the creators. If you can afford it, just sub to premium and stop acting like you’re entitled to everything for free. I despise ads just as much if not more than the next dipshit, but complaining about them, when there’s myriad ways of avoiding them, just makes you sound like a dingus.
Obligatory shout out to Nebula as a cheaper alternative for non-fiction/edutainment content.
yall are fuckin heartless idiots
