Yeah I hate to say it but it does remind me to do it.
I can name my 5 favorite youtubers for each of my interests and hobbies by name or channel name, I'm a grownup I know how to find what I want.
BUT I also want to support these people who make me my entertainment for free. I dont always remember to like their videos but I know its important for the algorithm to make them more money so when they say it I think "Yeah, if it means you can keep making a living off this shit... ok"
They're not doing it for free. The few that do it for free don't give a shit if you subscribe or not. The really successful ones make a ton of money.
Yes. Thats why I said "make a living".
The content to me is free, I dont have to pay to watch it.
It's good that you have something you enjoy. Personally, I think ads and annoyances are a worse form of payment than money.
