    People love to discuss these fantasy realms where ad-free decentralized content forms some kind of Utopia that we all enjoy.

    I’m a former content creator with millions and millions of hours of (e watched hours of) video. I have answered hundreds of comments from people who would like to suggest that my mic is better, or I use a better video camera, better lighting…

    When I say hey I’d love to, can you donate a dollar so I can buy them… Crickets.

    I can honestly say I never made a fucking sent on YouTube and it’s the users that are to blame. They view it as this free thing that they should be entitled. Contribute nothing willingly.

    There is a huge difference between the ethical stance people portray in their online comments, and people’s in real life behavior.
