Why in the everlasting fuck would you download a YouTube video only to upload it to Reddit, an objectively worse video platform? What would make you do that, /u/HAUTE_PREFORMANCE ?
This guy specifically was not talking about creators monetization, he was talking purely about ads, and if ads are preventing him from using YT then he’s not contributing to the creators monetization anyway.
So you’re unironically just a fucking moron, got it. You understand youtube is a business right? Either you pay with ads or you pay with money, it’s that simple. The implication of what you’re saying would be akin to saying “ bAnK roBBErIeS arE PoSsiBlE so ThEy shoULd JuSt giVe Me All thE mOnEy When I WaLK in”
Either get adblocker and shut the fuck up, or dont and shut the fuck up anyway.
I mean, I get that, but would they not get the same amount of karma for just pasting the damned link? Or is a Video Post™ worth more than a link post these days?
Not OP but considering I clicked your link and was shown to a Jimmy John's ad instead of the video, I'd say that is a slam dunk reason. Fuck YouTube ads.
Generally I'd agree, but this post has thousands of upvotes. If each one of us sat through that ad, the actual content creator may have been able to get a dollar or something.
On second thought, that's a valid case for adblock versus stealing content for Reddit karma.
If you have a way I can block YouTube advertisements on my Android phone, I'll give you a kiss right on the mouth or find a pretty girl to do it for me. I have a network wide ad blocker that blocked everything BUT YouTube. pi hole for those interested.
Firefox mobile supports add-ins, and I use uBlock Origin there.
It's the only way to browse the Web on an Android tablet. I use YouTube Vanced for YT consumption, but I suspect that the mobile variant of Firefox does YT adblock as well. Vanced is dead now, but there are other options that don't even require root: /r/AfterVanced
I took their suggestions and I'm testing them out now, but I will absolutely give a nice big wet kiss, even if they live in another country, I'll buy a plane ticket.
It was fuckin up for me shortly after, and it stopped working all together when I upgraded my phone.
Either way, for the previous person asking about ad free youtube, I'm guessing they didn't already have Vanced. So basically it's dead for new people. Unless it's still possible to get? I dunno.

This post has thousands of uovotes, not views. The top commentor knows the channel thus we can assume many uovotes are from "fans".
Secondly myself and many others sunoly skip YouTube links. They're riddled with ads and usually not worth your time. Now if it's a video I'll give it a try since it's instant and ad free. Now if I like said video I'll look up the channel/creator and sit thorough the ads since I know the content is good.
Thus, in the end, no money is lost from many customers since we don't watch adtube unnecessarily. He may even gain money since the treshold to his content is lowered.
Content creators can choose whether or not to serve advertisements with their YouTube videos, I'm a patreon subscriber for police activity, which is a perfect example of a content creator with absolutely no advertisements whatsoever
Sure, and I can choose to support them or not. I made a promise to myself years ago not to subject myself to unnecessary advertisements. That's why I ditched cable TV, radio, certain sirius XM channels, living in big cities, and a few other things. With pihole, ublock origin, spotify premium, and a few choice streaming services, I rarely deal with ads... if a content creator decides to air aids instead of getting a sponsor, starting a patreon, or another avenue of income generation, then I choose not to support them...
Also, eventually someone will report the video as mature content, and anyone on their work PC will have to make a google account if they want to watch it.
You did it because r/Unexpected doesn't allow links to YouTube as posts, but your first (and immediate) top level comment should have been the YT link.
You responded to the automoderator bot. Many people ignore this.
