Advertisers pay Google when your watch ads. Goole pays the creators (and utilities, and rent, and employees, and…). By not watching ads, all those people are not getting paid, hence you are stealing.

Oxygen is not produced by workers. Electricity, bandwidth, storage, security, software, video content are all produced by workers.
For a commie you are quite unaware of the means of production…
Watching ads absolutely does transfer money to YouTube, how do you think Google exists??
It’s astonishing how naive (or obtuse) people can be.
Is using up resources without paying for it. It’s stealing by any definition.

I brought US coke to Europe earlier this year specifically to test this. I couldn’t taste the difference, my wife got it correct but said it was really close even taking alternate sips after one another. If there is a difference, it is really minuscule.

You’re welcome then (since my fees subsidize your watching).
Nah, I’d rather watch YouTube. Ad free, too.
Tech issue, infrastructure issue, content issue, financial issue…
Hosting text like lemmy is several orders of magnitude cheaper than video.
Beg for donations? How is being paid for your work “begging”?
As you said, hosting video is not only complicated but just fucking expensive, that’s why people don’t do it themselves. Google pays for it via ads/premium, not by magic pixie dust.
Well, then don’t go on YouTube, or use peer tube. You are trading 30 seconds of your time for:
- creators making the thing you so desperately want to watch
- disk space to store it
- bandwidth to send it around the world
- compute to transcode it and process it
- real estate and security for the premises
- power for the datacenter
- ac to cool the servers
- wages of workers to maintain that whole infrastructure
- wages of devs for the app
- yes, profits for the company
Of course, you can decide to not pay and steal it instead, just don’t act like you are morally entitled to do it.
Most of western European governments are democratic socialist for like 50% of the time.

What does the red mean? Scotland is grey but Switzerland is red…
So, a hypothesis?
UV is energy you can’t see…
Wages have nothing to do with property.
