If you use YouTube at all then you're not at all concerned with "a responsible and accountable platform" you're just trying to justify leeching. If you were actually concerned about those things you'd avoid using them entirety. You talk about being concerned about YouTube causing monetary harm to creators but your own actions are causing them monetary harm by denying them any payment for their value provided to you. It's hypocritical.



So your statement is that "You cannot possibly be concerned about, and want something to be better, if you continue to use it."? Am I understanding that correctly?


My statement is that if you're really concerned about a service being a bad actor you would avoid it entirely to avoid propping it up at all unless it's an essential service.

I am concerned about the new management of Twitter so I deleted my account and stopped using the service. It's very empty to claim you won't pay for a service because you are morally opposed to their service while continuing to use said service.


I don't want to financially support every person that I happen to watch. Sometimes I am curious what propaganda scumbag right wing trolls are putting out. Viewing content I disagree with is the cost of staying informed. Doesn't mean I want those creators getting a cent. YouTube isn't getting any revenue from me (from advertising or subscription) until I can allocate exactly where my money goes.
