That's an awful lot of assumptions and insults coming through to someone who's just answering the question honestly. I'm not naive enough to think I'm advertisement proof, I just get tired of them and avoid them where I can. I'm failing to see what your point is
Just because you're honest doesn't mean you get a cookie. Your take a isn't just shit, you're a fucking thief stealing from mostly ordinary people who are trying to find new ways to make money because the traditional economy fails us. You can take your whining and go fuck yourself as far as I'm concerned. If you don't want to watch sponsorships that help people make more money then turn the fucking content off. Entitled twat.
So many gigantic hypocrites on this site. Any time success for workers requires even a tiny amount of time all you hypocrites on this site suddenly turn into penny pinching fuckwads. bunch of fake leftist tools. It wasn't enough for you to block ads so now you're also blocking sponsorships, so that tells me you think you're entitled to free work from others which makes you no different from some corporate capitalist shithead.
I don't think thief is the right word. Would you consider someone who stands by a busker listening to their whatever and not throwing a coin in the hat, a thief as well? I get your point, I just think you went about it the wrong way. Who has the better claim to entitlement, the person who already got paid for the sponsorship based on their existing performance metrics, or me and my time? Are you a thief for taking a piss during a commercial break? Are you a thief for arriving late to movies to intentionally skip the previews? Where's the line here? I'm also not sure of where my hypocrisy comes in either. I have no fantasies about other people wanting to hear what I have to say, especially if it's going to cost them time or money. I'm not blocking advertisements and expecting people to watch mine. I don't have anything to advertise. If I wanted to make a shitty YouTube video to entertain people, I'll do that, but I'm not going to pretend that it's going to put food on my table. My real job does that. I'm not so vain as to think I deserve other people's time and attention. What makes Linus tech tips entitled to my time, or Mr beast, or whoever else is churning out mediocre content purely for profit?
