Creators have to kowtow to this crap and now they don't even know what words or string of words are going to get their video demonetized. It's a shitty system all around. It should be more like twitch, where you support the creator directly with membership in order to watch them ad-free. I'm a member on several channels that I support, but I have to pay youtube for the privilege of blocking ads? Naaah. If I'm not mistaken what revenue creators get from youtube premium is an even smaller fraction of what they get from ad views. Yep. Youtube is an absolutely awful environment to work in. The only reason anyone still does is because they've got an effective monopoly on video content creation. I just got the "three videos until the player will be blocked" message today. Unlike the other warning, refreshing didn't make it go away, and it did lock the player after three tries. But then I updated uBlock and everything works again. So... good job Google, you slightly inconvenienced me for two minutes and got no additional ad views out of it. --- This is my signature.
