If you hate YouTube ads

[Fishie]

If you hate YouTube ads, why don't you just admit you're a pirate? Because if you avoid ads where companies and people make money, then you're a pirate.

And all forums of pirates are bad just like vikings. They do evil things no matter where they are.

There is isn't a law yet mate but sites can stop it and try to stop it as it is in their legal right. You have no legal right to pirate.

"People are not watching our forced ads. How can we make more money if they don't watch?""I know, label them criminals and make it illegal so we make more money"

At least you're transparent about it being all about the money. Really, how much goes to any creator. I have a youtube account. I upload content. I make no money. I have no say if ads play on my content or not

If anything, youtube is stealing from me by adding ads to my content and making money off it.

What say you of that

You do not own your content when you post it to their platform. They own it and they can do what they please. They aren't stealing, you are.

Eh? And what of the movies? People still file copyright claims when their stuff is reposted. Idea kinda lost in direction for me.

Copyright claims are filed when you the user posts something to youtube that violated another's persons copyright that applies to movies, music, art, etc as you stole it. This also applies to other sites and platforms. The platform or site isn't responsible unless they fail to take it down after a claim but the person who files the claim usually decides the outcome if they want it to stay up and make money from it, etc.

Some companies may allow it if you ask for permission or the bot mess up and wasn't supposed to get hit with claim then you simply reach out who owns the copyright and they will tell you If they will remove it or not.

If a content creator wants to ensure payment of their content before people watch it, then they should post it to Patreon behind a paid subscription wall, not YouTube.

And if YouTube (Google) wants payment upfront before people watch their content then they'll adopt the same model that Patreon uses for paid subscription content.
Considering that Google hasn't sued anyone over this (as far as I'm aware) and has not paywalled their content, it seems that not even the company that you claim is getting stolen from agrees with you.

Courts are ruling in favor of adblock, which means that the law does not agree with your position either.

Some youtuber said it some popular guy said it therefor it's true and you're wrong because they're always right about everything all the time 100% and we should listen to the "popular" people always

Ublock. Sponsorblock. Perfection.

[Sidakte]

ublock + adblocker ultimate + ghostery + privacy badger = L.F.E.

[WaitandSee]

How Youtube treats the majority of all content creators is exploitative and unconscionable.

I always have and always will use ad blockers and services that like adnauseam that serve to confound their analytics and make cost Youtube and their advertisers money without a net gain. Works against all advertisers and websites and not just Youtube.

Sponsor block, uNlock Origin, user agent switcher and the privacy features built into firefox and when combined with NoScript, you have a very strong protection against tracking, ads and anything else you don't want.
