> I don't get why people block ads on YouTube, robbing individual creators. It's not like hulu or Amazon where you are just robbing megacorp and predatorial studios.

How much does YouTube/Google/Alphabet get from each ad view and how much of that goes to the actual uploader of the video? If the ratio is less than ~50%, I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

Secondly, not every could afford the $10 price, but still doesn't want to view ads. These people wouldn't pay the $10 price regardless.

Thirdly, if you follow this procedure and strip the ads from the stream, does that make it so YouTube doesn't count the ad impression?
