    I feel like if a YouTuber or podcaster is bringing value to my life, I want them to get money in return.

    Everyone (okay not EVERYONE) expects artists to create for free and either work full time in top of that or not eat.

    I’d rather a creator choose their paid sponsors and get paid directly, than have to rely on YT or whomever to place religious or political or other bullshit ads and give them a small cut and no say.

    I can’t afford to join everyone’s Patreon and I refuse to give YT my money at all. I don’t mind an ad for Factor meals or the ‘stress relief’ massager. I can just fast forward if I’m not in the mood.
