This is no shade against uncle dane or jontohil2, this is probably just youtube's fault

uh this might get me hate but this is a rare instance of youtube doing its job and doing it well.

members videos are basically like patreon but directly on youtube. members who choose to fund a channel get ad-free and exclusive content on top of the knowledge their money/attention is going directly towards their favorite creator and not some random advertiser.

and youtube is doing its job by advertising this content. it would be a failure of a service if it kept these videos a secret.

“but it’s annoying”

it says “members only” right there. just don’t click it and learn to accept that the creators you enjoy need to make a living somehow.
