This is the first I'm hearing about the content creators getting paid out of the deal. YouTube needs to do a better job of letting people know this.

I looked at it. The features aren't worth the price at all.

Yeah, I am very likely autistic. I wonder when the lawsuits will start.

People used to tell me that I reminded them of Sheldon from tbbt as though that was a compliment.

I agree, yet for some reason celebrities who are not qualified to comment on these things have their voices amplified by the media.

Dear YouTube, if anyone there ever reads this.

I tried not to block ads, I would let the preroll go and usually not skip it.

I started skipping ads when they started getting long. I recall some were several minutes long at times.

I started leaving videos part way through when there were mid-roll ads, and those got long enough that I'd often forget what I was even watching.

I started blocking the ads outright when I would be watching a relaxing video, and a very loud mid-roll ad would blow out my goddamn eardrums.

Fuck you YouTube. You abused your users, you chased off good content creators, and now you're offering people no carrot and all stick. How about you offer to match the volume of the ads to the videos, limit the length of ads to something reasonable, and nicely tell viewers that you are making ads less annoying and that unblocking the ads helps pay the content creators.

Someone please explain to me how 3D printing vegetables could be cheaper or more efficient than just growing them?

My parents raised me with unfortunate views, as did the churches they forced me to attend. It was only through life experience that I came to realize they were wrong.

Violence didn't help me, it made me feel isolated and more inclined to think that those using violence against me didn't have rational arguments against my views.

Violence doesn't win arguments, and it should be a last resort, using it for instant gratification is a sure strategy to prolong conflict.
