I guess it won’t be long until Google finds out who is blocking their ads and finds a way to demonetize those particular views for the channels. We’ll have people in videos asking you to deactivate the adblocker so they can get paid.
I mean, ok, it seems like it would be easier to open up a patreon then. YouTube pays in peanuts anyway, and those who care enough to help can still help while they avoid being bombarded by ads.
Although if we're being honest, it seems to my uninformed eye that there are two kinds of uploaders, and one of them still has a day job and keeps their channel going for a side hobby, and the other can live off the interest for a thousand years. I'm sure there's a middle ground, but once you can make it your main job, surely you have enough subs to try switching to donations?
I thought it already worked that way?
