A lot of channels exist as a natural extension of an already existing business

I don't know what that means

I'm not going to support Google and the mass dregs that create clickbait garbage and predatory content that takes advantage of the algorithm in order to make as much money from ads as possible.

Then pay and show Google that their business model needs to change. If you pay, then their incentive is not to maximize watch time, which is probably why you have a lot of clickbait trash. Or don't watch YouTube.

Google isn't entitled to make money by simply hosting reaction videos and hyperbolic political commentary.

And you aren't entitled to watch videos without ads and without paying. Choose one.

I'll watch the videos I want to watch without watching ads and without paying and no amount of fuckery is going to stop me.

Fine just know that this is entitled behavior and you're just perpetuating the ad-block ad-block-redtector rat race.

Just know that creating and hosting content and expecting to be paid for it is entitled behavior. It's no different than panhandling.
