By paying for premium or watching ads, you fund Google doing this to creators

Creators are getting demonetized for no fault on their own and cannot appeal. Furthermore, they’re banned from making new accounts, so Google entirely cuts off their ability to prosper if they made it their full-time job. Remember to use uBlock to block off the ads (if it doesn’t work on Chromium browsers, get Firefox, it works here, at least for me - might be regional) and under no circumstances pay YT or through YT. If you want to support creators, do it outside of the Google ecosystem so Google doesn’t profit to further enable their abuse and life-ruining machine.

EccTM,

Those creators were perfectly happy to feed Google’s ecosystem with the content it profiteers from while they were getting their cut of the ad money. 🤷

yeah and um won't the creators leave if they are demonatonized or take their shit down. So like are you not funding the same creators with this activity?

EccTM,
  • I pay Google $10 a month to not have ads.
  • PainDomination (Creator OP linked to, as an example) uploads a video a month, earns themself $226 based on the absolute minimum estimate of these (granted, inaccurate) Social Blade stats
    • Google takes a 45% cut, which would mean PainDomination made Google $185~ in that month.

Granted we’re both funding Google, but I’m not exactly sure I’m the one that should be guilted for funding Google’s “abuse and life-ruining machine”. If the creators actually believed in de-funding Google, they SHOULD take their shit down. Start a Patreon and upload to Floatplane/Nebula/PeerTube/Odysee or roll their own hosting.

Brave browser is chromium based and blocks all ads by default. It's another alternate people can use if Firefox doesn't work for them for whatever reason.
