    They wouldn't have anything to host if not for creators making desirable content. They don't treat their creators with any amount of respect and they expect to make money off of work they didn't do. And creators have no say as to whether or not there are ads on their own work, like it or not daddy YouTube will put an ad on that video and make money from it.

    If YouTube wants me to watch ads they need to work on that. Oh, and they need to do a better job about what kind of ads they allow on their site.

        Yup. I don't want my money going to YouTube. Instead I support the creators I like via Patreon or buying merch. Did you think giving money to YouTube was the only option?

          How are you complaining about youtube treatment if u pay patreon instead ?? Obviously they have to force ads on your creators if u dont pay them instead, how thick are you lmfao

          Also "They expect to make money off work they didnt do" ? They pay for hosting and bandwidth, people upload 500 hours of video per minute on youtube, you think thats free? Youtube kids so simpleminded istg

            Patreon exists because of YouTube underpaying people. I'm not sure how you think calling me stupid is supposed to help, and I'm not sure why you are so adamantly defending a multi-billion dollar company. You know Google isn't your buddy, right?

              Doesn't sub to youtube, claims they underpay them. Being told video hosting isn't free = I'm their buddy. Should I call patreon your buddy by your logic? You're not stupid, just your logic don't worry 🤭
