Is the youtuber Investor Linus (tech tips)? If so, what are his controversial politics?
Calling adblockers piracy is one i remember
Although he admits to using one. Still a stupid take but he's not like, adamantly anti-adblocker.
He also admits to pirating games and media. So like I think I agree, adblockers are a way to access things without "paying". Think people thought he was saying piracy like it was a bad thing. But I think he was just being literal.
In essence what he said was "know what you're doing" from what I can tell. No major judgement of the behavior, but instead just a notice that one should be aware of their actions. Personally I'd love if more sites just added a ko-fi link or similar. You made good stuff? Here's some money I can spare, and if I get even more use out of your content in the future, I'll pay you a little more then.
