They can use the money they earned by selling every piece of personal info on me. But anyway, evade taxes = suck my big fat fucking dick. Give back to the world what you owe, which public services you've used to make your company the size it is now. Give the millions of dollars you spent on lawyers to find tax loopholes to content creators, how about that.

Ads are a cancer and I'll do everything I possibly can to stop them from torturing my brain. Everything that slips through I'll boycot for life, including telling all my friends to never use or buy the product.

Content creators I'll support directly, either through donations or subscription based services.

Ads are cancer.

Ads are cancer.

Ads are cancer.

Edit: Ads are a fucking cancer.

Edit2: Ads are a fucking cancer and everyone supporting them is a fucking loser.

Let me add to that: Ads are a cancer and advertisers are the carcinogen

This is the way.

Ads are not just cancer, on YouTube they're also fucking scams, the ones claiming to be mr.beast and those that promises free vbucks comes to mind. Ads as a service needs to die, it's an over-abused market with no real value.

Amen brother. Ads are cancer. Except for tiny indie-devs or such who will never get enough moneyz by donation alone. There i could tolerate it, knowing I'm worthless to any advertiser anyway. They just waste their money.
