       "If you gave a (YouTube) Creator even one dollar as a donation, that is more than they will make from you watching years of ads on their content. The likelihood that I will ever outearn a one dollar donation from you; even if you've been watching ads since I started the channel in 2012, is slim to none! If you really like the people you watch, give them a dollar. That is nicer to the Creator than a year of sitting through ads or YouTube Red." - Louis Rossmann from https://yewtu.be/watch?v=oV3s_sESnmE

       @ravi Thats a big fucking lie. Lets make a short calculation:Louis Rossmann has over 3000 Uploads. I dont know his CPM but just lets assume that it is more than 2.0 which is a really low number. So theoretically if you watch all his videos without blocking the ads, he would get 6$. So and now beside the hard facts, some other arguments: One of the biggest reason, why his CPM is low might be that his target audience is technically gifted and therefore mostly uses ad blockers. Therefore if you would be able to turn around the calculation, it might be, that a single user even can make a much bigger amount of his ad revenue. Sadly those are Youtube internals, we only could figure it out if every viewer for like a specific time would deactivate their blocker.Now to his main Message: No, blocking ads isnt piracy, it never was and it never will be. In the same move like he does, i can claim that if no one is able to block ads, no one would watch his videos. For both theories there is no evidence, it is pure speculation to assume that there is a loss of money due to ad blockers.And to the last point, Security and Data Protection. It is well known that additional dependencies such as unnecessary loading of (third party) content provide a larger attack surface, also due by increasing the complexity of the system. Using a ad/tracking/anything blocker on every Webpage increases Security by so far, that it should actually already be part of the basic knowledge of people who use the internet in any form and data protection also plays a massive role here.last but not least a strong personal opinion from myself: i give a fuck about video creators ad dreams, they should make a only fans account if they care.
