    As much as I would love to support all of those creators directly, it’s not a financially viable option for me.

    No one’s suggesting you pay more than what you’re paying now. I simply suggested you pay them directly. Take whatever you’re paying per month/year to google directly, then divide that up and contribute directly to the creators of your choosing.

    which is more than they’d get from me if I was adblocking their videos

    Now you’re moving the goalposts. No one is arguing against the fact that content creators get some amount of money from ads and subscriptions. The argument was that donating to them directly is better / more revenue for the creators, since google doesn’t get a cut. You spend the same amount, the creators get paid more, google gets paid nothing.

    It’s bizarre how you are such an apologist for google.

      I’m not moving the goalposts. I’m explaining my opinions on the matter and the choices I made. I’m not sure why you, who are not in any way impacted by my video consumption habits, take issue with any of that.
