    No, you love the creators you watch. Youtube, as a google company, created a businessmodel out of stealing data/private information and selling it to the highest bidder. I use newpipe, i never see ads but if i have a creator i want to support i send them money as direct as possible without middlemen (direct donations during livestreams for example). i pay the creator for their work. If google wouldn’t violate my human dignity by shoving a camera up my ass 24/7 i might consider giving them money to run their servers but as long as they try to make me a product they won’t see money nor data from me

      And Youtube makes that possible. Show me another service that is as good as Youtube is? Unlimited uploads for everyone, extremely fast constant delivery network. Require no logins or accounts to access the site. 4K video etc… etc… All for the low price of free with ads, or pay for no adds. They every are even one of the best at paying content creators. There is a reason almost every content creator ends up having some kind of account on Youtube.

      I don’t believe Google is in the business of selling data. There business is ad delivery. They keep the data to themselves as it is their secret sauce to deliver ads.

    I’d rather click two buttons than give them my card information and send them money, but ok.

    Your ignorance is so cute! I could just punch pinch those cheeks!

    What would you say to someone with premium that still uses revanced because it’s a better client? Probably nothing because there’s no script for that.

      I used revanced on sync for Reddit to keep it alive past it’s death date, though I’m much more engaged with Lemmy since Sync released for it too.

      What makes the revanced version of YouTube better to you? Maybe I should check it out.

          That too, I’ve been using it so long I forgot it was even a thing that needed blocking. 😆

        Downvotes for one thing, also removing shit I’ll never use, easier downloading when I want to archive a video, etc.
