      @scootaloo123 Because the content creators you enjoy watching need money to continue creating content that you enjoy.

        @mastertdi Well I'm fine with that but there are 30 second unskippable ads.

          @scootaloo123 @mastertdi thats the way it works. a little bit of the 'admoney' is given content creators. it can be disabled, but most won't

            @heathenman I thought any and all ads 30 seconds of above should be skippable.

            @heathenman Honestly I think most people do disable them. :1 I don't. I spend too much time farting around on the internet not to give something back.

              @mastertdi some creators didnt own a site, just a channel - banners who gave money from views arent supported on youtube as i know

          @scootaloo123 You need food to eat, money for food, and YouTube ads give creators money. It's not a whole lot of money, but in some cases it's just enough.

            @mrmattimation People should get money for the amount of likes/views they get on their videos.

              @scootaloo123 I swear someone here's mentioned a site that lets you microdonate to youtubers by liking their videos. I forget what it's called... Patreon?

                @redenchilada Patreon. And you have to actually pay them.

              @scootaloo123 Because that wouldn't be exploitable by bots or anything.
