YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
This is very much their propaganda tactic, that by not watching ads you’re stealing from the poor content creators, when in reality they’re just chucking a few pennies to the people who actually made the videos. If you want to actually support the creators then donate to their patreon or whatever, but don’t pretend that watching ads or paying for premium is doing anything more than lining the pockets of investors.
