I really wonder what creators make of this, @arstechnica@mastodon.social .

Every single creator I follow uploads to YouTube only because Google have corralled the overwhelming majority of viewers there and every single creator I follow also has another mechanism through which to receive donations from their most loyal fans – those who block or not.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a creator claiming that viewers should disable their ad-blockers to preserve or protect the ad-share via YouTube.
