I sometimes am really good about denying YouTube my views… Other times, not so much.
Maybe I need to get into the habit of always using NewPipe very well (app that let’s you view YouTube without generating views or revenue)… But then again, I think it’s not bad to be actually also generating revenue for the content creators I do enjoy.
Despite everything, youtube does platform a lot of creators I really like. As long as we don’t let them have a monopoly on video, I think that’s fine.
I even pay for a youtube premium account because I’d prefer to be the customer rather than the product. Some people think I’m an idiot for doing that, but imagine this: Ad demonetization doesn’t apply to youtube premium revenue for creators.

It’s kind of a weird debate to have.
