      You think Google pays “shitloads for ad revenue to creators”? Is that why it’s so rare for major creators to rely on sponsorship deals to be their primary stable income?

      So then they need to do whatever they can to stop ad block. Because Google pays shit loads of money due to ad revenue. I’m not sure how your logic disagrees with anything I said.

          …yes, so google desperately needs those advertisers to advertise. And if they stop, their content stops existing. So yeah Google has to stop ad block. Otherwise who’s going to make anything for YouTube?

          *Edit as you said

          Google isn’t just giving away their money.

          So they need advertisers to give out that money or they have no one posting videos.

          Unless you think Google will just start giving out money.

      The money doesn’t come from Youtube. They’re not a big company because of youtube. They bought youtube.
