As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don’t want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the “but first check out this shitty mobile game”.

    Google makes more than enough to live, yet they demand more and you give it to them? How is that not greed.

      If I’m blocking ads and not paying for premium, the channels I watch make absolutely nothing on my view. It doesn’t sit right with me to consume content without giving anything in return. Paying for premium, which distributes half of what I pay to the creators I watch, fulfills that well enough that I’m fine paying for it. YouTube Music is just a bonus.

      You watching it for free is not only taking money from Google but taking money from the channels you watch. Do whatever you want, I don’t care, but at least understand the consequences of your actions. I for one don’t like the idea of doing it, myself.
