    I don’t understand why they think we care if we’re stealing content regardless. I pirate movies and TV shows, but they don’t whine about that, in fact, most will approve of it. Why draw the line at YouTubers?

      They often say that we’re screwing the person who runs the channel. In reality, I’m willing to bet my left nutsack that they make a fuckton more from the occasional donations than from ads, once Google, MCNs, and the government take their share.

        Pretty sure most YouTubers and streamers will tell you exactly that. Sponsorships and brand deals make them way way more

          One of my random channels I watch straight up tells people to use adblocks and don’t give YouTube a cent.

        I have a small channel (5k) and YouTube ads make about 40% of what I earn.

          You’d make more with Pateron

            Yes, just a little. My patreon is the other 60%. But don’t discount the first 40%.

              You’d make even more if you’d switch to Ko-Fi as they only take a flat fee per month

      Because they think that they’ll be YouTube superstars one day, and we’re stopping them
