The number within your circle has an absolute value of |2|, and |2| is a positive number! 😎

Whoosh moment... but I see what you did there - and I for one, like it!:-P

Though tbf, I must be insane, b/c I legit just watch the ads. Okay so not watch watch them, or listen either tbh, but let them play out I mean... I watch fewer than one YT video per day, most often per week even, or sometimes per month, so that is just easier for me than anything else, and it feels good to know that I am supporting the content creators that way, which iirc YT does at least a halfway decent job of? (or I could be misremembering that, but I thought like not the best yet not the worst either, more solidly in the middle, median-wise if not average?) Like, it is literally the least I can offer:-D.

Unless I want to listen to music, in which case I just turn on blocking of the ads - I guess I am not all that perfect (or bat-shit insane - ain't nobody got time for dat!):-P.

I just think I'm irritated with watching ads enough to pay to not need to. I also think I watch multiple YouTube videos nearly everyday, so I just consider it paying $0.05 to skip the ad automatically and still support the company and creators both.

It is a nice perspective, thanks for sharing it!:-)

Not a whoosh moment. I got it, I just didn't feel like feeding into a masturbation joke is all.
