I just use the Brave browser, no ads anywhere lol

Isn't that spyware or something?

No, if you're referring to a certain article it has been debunked several times

I see this thread has turned out well.

I'm seeing ads but the ads are just a gray screen with a circle slowly spinning out of shape. My thoughts are that Adblock is in need of an update to keep ads blocked on Youtube.

I've never had any social media sort of folks like "content creators" ever tell me to buy premium or stop using a site if I run an adblocker, this is a first.

I've even had content creators in the past tell me that I should run adblockers on Youtube, but they're the types of creators that aren't using Youtube as a full time job, some even don't monetize their videos.

YouTube is a real job, just like running a blog that depends on ads for revenue is a real job. Not everyone is capable of being a drone and working 8-5 jobs for less than you get in passive income from ad revenue.

If it's a job you either own and are operating your own tax-paying business based from the country that is giving you a paycheck; in this case YouTube is a US based company so you'd need to file a Schedule C or Form 1120, else a 1099 and pay the IRS quarterly to annually depending on the income amount. Failing to do so may especially for a US Citizen, have immense consequences including seizure of assets and property, else they can take directly from the company paying you for assisting to generate ad revenue.

That's also it; it's not so much you for video watching; it's that ads play on your videos, the ads have value and you get a share of assisting to reach the goal of the particular advertiser(s) so YouTube can collect on their agreement of either per-view to total number of ads played. In this case, you're just a useful tool to them, not an employee or contractor.

So, if you do consider this a job and make money off of it, don't be surprised if you get Audited accordingly if you're a US Citizen. If you're not, it's up to the country you live in that may want a portion for you generating money while residing wherever you do, but you can still have a portion seized between youtube and yourself.

Just remember that, they only consider you a tool to assist in generating their own revenue based upon existing agreements, and like SuperChats; if you make anything, they get a rather large percentage of it because it's their business and service, not yours.

Of course they send you out a 1099 form every year, so I guess it classifies as a job now that you know?

It's YOUR responsibility to declare misc. income, and that's exactly it; miscellaneous; income from a non-employer source. This means you're basically getting paid not as a job, but because of what I mentioned; their agreements with others, you just assist to get there, ie, a tool to utilize to get to that point. It may feel like a job, it may be considered as a job - but realistically it isn't even if it does manage to pay bills. Only when you are a contractor or your own business (or a part of anothers) do you qualify as such.

It's a hobby, not so much a job, something you choose to do, that may or may not make money based off of others agreements in which you're rewarded for assisting to get there. On top of that, you must generate ad revenue or otherwise be worth giving even a tiny part of the pie in order to be rewarded. This is why many content creators have paid sponsorship; direct advertiser-to-creator access; they're the product, you advertise the product, you get a portion of any given sale(s) by using a special code. In that case you still must file accordingly, paying taxes as misc unless you own an actual business. But don't go assuming you can write off an entire RTX TITAN; you can only write off the portion you use equipment for the business, if in an actual business, if you're being paid as you - it's still a voluntary rewards based system.

Think of it as multi-level-marketing (pyramid scheme), you do a great amount of effort, but the brand you're doing it for takes almost everything because it's their business and service, you're just there to move their products and their partners products and maybe you get something out of it, maybe. Now, if it was your job you'd be reaping a contractual hourly or salary based income, if an independent contractor your performance would directly affect payout as well.

Creators are again, entitled to nothing - and attempting to push for it more is only going to continue the ongoing disaster on youtube. You'd be better off cryptomining with a GPU that isn't 85% made up price and 15% actual manufacturing cost. Never buy a top end unit that is't much better than the tier below it if you're not using its raw power.

Now yer' going off topic. I absolutely use the power of the TITAN RTX as I run machine learning apps and games based on OpenAI's GPT-3 model. An RTX 2080 Ti would immediately output out of memory exception.

[Damn]

I created a new word for hating Adblock, i call it Adblockism

[Vox]

Use Firefox and ublock, for Android use Youtube vanced and/or Newpipe.
You'll never see ads again.

Make sure the ublock you download is by Raymond Hill.

To actually answer the question;
AdBlock Plus is working for me. If you have the little APB red stop sign in the upper right hand corner, click it and use report issue on YouTube.
It might be an incompatibility issue with your browser.
You can make sure the browser is updated.
Sometimes ABP has to catch up with other updates.

Never saw a single ad with my blockers. Good. This is how it should be.

I highly doubt all of that, and you're focusing on one tiny thing out of the entire post which remains on topic. Seems like you're trying way too hard here and the fact remains companies need to do better than to use ads like they have from the beginning, especially if content creators want to make money they as well need to learn and adapt - instead of making weak claims every time they're debunked on something, the point of being a creator is your content, not others content. If you whatsoever do any machine learning, you should be more than capable of making your own site and thus subscription model.

Now, now. Don't be greedy.

Have you ever had to work for anything, ever needed to earn money to survive? If you want to be spoiled and lazy, fine, but don't act like you're doing the right thing by denying a content creator money because you won't either give them something directly or sit through ads.

The person who started all this by saying we should subsidize their lifestyle for them had the money to by an NVIDIA GeForce Titan- the most expensive graphics card on the market. Last I checked it was about $1500 or more for that part alone. No one who splurges on that is hurting for money or should be begging for more-that’s a person who’s gotten greedy and accustomed to a certain lifestyle.

It’s no different between someone who does that and someone who marries someone for their money and wants to take half that money after a divorce merely because they’ve become accustomed to a certain lifestyle.

Oh UBI means universal basic income. Seems like a terrible idea to me. I don't even see how it can be sustainable especially with the damage it would cause to the value of currency.

That’s because you didn’t read the part where I explained how it pays for itself. Nationalize a couple industries and use the profits those industries make selling their goods around the world to pay for a UBI for the citizens of the nation. It’s why we’ve been overthrowing nations all over the world for decades-any time a nation tries to nationalize an industry and use the profits for its people, America’s gotta swoop in and “bring them some Democracy!”

It’d be sort of like we’re all shareholders in the industry and make money when it makes money. It’s a pretty simple concept once you think about it for a bit

A choice you made, though. You chose to do the most expensive thing requiring the most expensive parts. We didn’t ask you to-you decided on your own. Why should we subsidize that out of pocket when we could all just have a UBI instead and then you don’t need to worry about your bills and you can keep doing this hobby you love so much you treat it like a full time job?

Just a communist fantasy tbh. What happens when you start giving free money to people? The money becomes worthless, along with everyone else's hard earned money. Leads to mass inflation, destabilised economy, worthless currency and a huge bill to cover.

You can take helicopter money out of the equation entirely. The state covers basic needs. Food, rent, internet (yes, internet has become a basic need).

Nothing fancy tho. Simple meals that are filling and healthy, but not exactly Michelin star material; spartan accommodation that has a kitchen and a shower, but forget a garden for grill parties; and internet that's enough for reading mails, but you definitely won't be streaming movies.

You want to do better, want to have gourmet food, a balcony and internet that will give you a speeding ticket; you need to get out there and "create value" or whatever.

Of course it would take a tax redistribution, and I'd say you should not do this without a national vote, but the key idea here is that all you're doing is setting the minimum lifestyle standard for everyone. You keep the class divide, except that you make it more organic.

And it ain't perfect, obviously, but it beats the current system where you get rich by lying to people and taking their money so that you don't get held accountable for poor leadership.
