How about financially supporting the people whose content you consume?
Valid statement. Especially considering the multiple $5 subscriptions that a lot of Twitch consumers shell out at those they watch, $10/mo to support _everyone_ you watch on YT plus getting the no ads and YTM isn’t really that bigga deal..
Content creators should create a patreon account or similar. YouTube is notorious for pulling the rug from under the creators. There is no shame in not wanting to fund it.
Many content creators do have Patreon accounts and I even support a few of them. But frankly I'm not going to subscribe to Patreon for more than a tiny fraction of the dozens of creators I watch on Youtube. I'd go broke.
You’re implying that giving money to Alphabet is a good way of doing that. I don’t think that’s even remotely true.
Still a hard no, why would I pay when I get it all for free.
The fact your question is downvoted really speaks to the motives of content consumers.
