    Ha ha no. Google needs you more than you need google.

    > but but but the ads moneh

    If google made so much money from ads, they wouldn’t care if you watched it at all. They want your consumerist data and they can’t get it with adblock.

    > but but but muh creators

    Most major creators have complained about google shafting them with schizo rules about monetization. The biggers ones have started to sell merch and use other platforms as insurance. You watching those ads gives google more benefits than the creators.

    Youtube is NOT essential. You can live without youtube. Simply follow the creators you like on other platforms. If you’re a creator, time to diversify your platform. The iceberg is sighted and it’s time to jump ship.

      Google DOES make money from ads. A metric tuckton of it. Why the fuck else would they need your data other than to serve better ads???
