take a look at which mag you're on, and then think about if any of us want to pay to block ads.

I'm perfectly aware. Everyone keeps saying that piracy is a convenience issue but people seem to go great lengths to get YouTube for free given how expensive it is to run and how much value it provides.

For how much "value" it provides (shareholders) they seem very keen on squeezing even more out of it. Why should we make their job easier? They certainly don't make their content creators jobs easier.

It's telling that you're completly skipping over content creators.
