     @kaia isn't their ad revenue like $1/1000 views? (if that since youtube's gone nuts with demonizing and probably cut down that since). If I threw a single dollar to their patreon I'd pay for like a lifetime of my views. I know youtube premium or whatever is a thing but I feel like creators don't see any of that money, i'd be more inclined to pay per view of creators of content I actually like

     @kaia @lelouchebag im willing to pay for stuff but i feel like most paid options are worse than pirating/adblocking/whatever
     
     im currently paying for anime streams and not using it due to DRM and worse UI/UX

     @kaia@brotka.st Because Linus has this stupid take in his head that adblocking is somehow piracy they also actually have a no-adblocker policy at their office. I heard them talk about about it on the WAN show once.
     
     Imagine your employer telling you can't install an adblocker on your computer.
     
     And they still wonder how their channel got hacked using a session hijack attack? Lmao

     @kaia AdNauseam is an ad blocker that does not show any ads to you but also sends a click event on every single ad it encounters. how exactly does clicking all the ads not give websites money?

     @kaia
     I create stuff, because I'm interested in how it works and what I can do with it. Where are no ads to pay for my interests.
     OpenSource projects also don't live from ads. Ok, Firefox has a deal with Google. Google is the default search engine and they pay for it. But most projects live from contributors and companies who value the project. Or the benefits they get from the project.

     Ads are used to undermine privacy, to distribute malware and to increase overconsumption.

     What Linus tech tips means: Ads are the backbone of ad driven creators.
     If you value your viewers, give them ad free content.

     @kaia If I am never going to click on an ad, then I am costing everyone in the industry money by letting ads load and it is costing me money in electricity to see the ad. It is more ethical for me to block them completely, and save everyone electricity and money.

     @kaia Meanwhile the vast majority of the websites that I browse: Pocket-funded or community-funded.
     Because at the end of the day, those are the best websites, they're made with care.
     
     Unlike LTT's channel who had to get a massive drama-callout some months ago to stop shoving broken information due to a stupid churn. :)

     @1iceloops123@shitposter.club @kaia@brotka.st Like honestly I think adblockers are more accurately described as a privacy/security tool than a piracy tool.
     
     Adblockers actually protect you against scams, phishing sites, other hazards. It's not just about "not wanting to see ads".
