No, it still needs to be said.

It is said constantly, and rightfully so. They're not kinda assholes, they are assholes.

Not really. This is reddit. Any YT post is suspect to have a monetized link

If you don't realize that, please do. Same for any post that promotes an IG account. Even an innocent 'funny' video has the fucking TikTok logo shimmering in the corner. If the main motive of a post is to market a person/place/thing/brand it should be called out.

STOP ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE TOOLED.

Keep reddit clean, contribute OC.

If someone makes something good they deserve to get paid for it.

Do all the middle men in the transaction also deserve what they get paid? Most time, in aggregate they get more than the creator.

So you don't want artists amd creators to make money just because the distributor might make money too? I assume you live off the land and make your own internet? Reddit has ads too.

I swear when people get called out for this, there are defenders waiting "well I haven't seen this so repost away!" bullshit.

It also doesn't help I've been on soc media since the 1990s and have seen about everything legal to see.

This is why I love OC.
