This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I've been using the nightly build, using the desktop extensions for a while now. It's SO worth it. In particular, the YouTube "SponsorBlock" is super convenient.
While I get it, sponsors are what enable the content you watch to even exist. It's one thing if it's youtube ads, but those sponsors are directly partnered with and paying content creators. On the other hand, Patreon is really the best way to go for content you truly care about.
Interesting bootlicker take amidst a content creator strike in Hollywood. Granted YouTube isn't under those Unions, but the power dynamics are quite similar (#YouTubeUnion)
Sponsors don't give a shit about creators, they are just an annoying necessity for the content creator.
Why give a shit about a sponsor who doesn't give a shit about the YouTuber you enjoy?
Less of a bootlicker, more of wanting my favourite creators to be able to eat.
I don't disagree with you, but most creators aren't just going to make content for nothing. The power dynamics on YouTube are subpar. I completely support some sort of creator union, however that may work, but if watchtime on sponsor segments plummet sponsor payouts plummet too.
