Oh yeah, if there was ever any reason to take their "advertising helps keep YouTube free" shit and tell them to blow it out their ass, it's the sheer amount of hateful garbage that they let those ads run on.

Just think of all the right wing bullshit and "anti-woke" content creators there are nowadays popping out bullshit. Look at all the YouTubers that have just gone full mask off because they found it's actually profitable.

Go search for X-Men, and look how many videos have come out in the last week that are nothing but commentary on the news about the non-binary character. Appreciate that that level of content is being produced with every headline. Think about the money being made there, by both youtube, and those content creators.

This is a hate machine that YouTube is directly funding. And until they stop that, they can take their whining about ad blockers and fuck right off.
