Maybe more people would be okay with the ads and trackers if they weren’t so ridiculously invasive.
On youtube in particular, most of the time…none of the ad revenue even goes to the creator of the video. They probably got copyright claimed, and even if they didn’t get copyright claimed, they’d still be demonetized if they belong on a platform like youtube.
Did you know a video that’s demonetized for a creator is fully monetized for the one that maliciously claims the revenue from you?
You’re most likely giving money to someone who’s stealing from your favorite creators when you watch youtube’s ads.
