I don't understand why they think we care if we're stealing content regardless. I pirate movies and TV shows, but they don't whine about that, in fact, most will approve of it. Why draw the line at YouTubers?

    They often say that we're screwing the person who runs the channel. In reality, I'm willing to bet my left nutsack that they make a fuckton more from the occasional donations than from ads, once Google, MCNs, and the government take their share.

    Pretty sure most YouTubers and streamers will tell you exactly that. Sponsorships and brand deals make them way way more

    I have a small channel (5k) and YouTube ads make about 40% of what I earn.

    Because they think that they'll be YouTube superstars one day, and we're stopping them
