    You’re spending a lot of time and effort defending one of the richest corporations in the world. It’s weird.

      I don’t think my friend with a small growing channel, and the dozens of creators I enjoy are all so rich, but good to know.

        You know full well that Google is charging content creators way, way over their costs, even if they qualify for the more lucrative partner programs (most don’t - the long tail - and those who do are the better off YouTubers), exploiting their monopoly position to extract money to an unfair extent from both content creators and advertisers.

        So, I do think it’s weird that you defend one of the richest and financially exploitative corporations on the planet and all your criticism is for me for skipping the annoying and repetative ads and not for the exploitative monopoly corporation.
