> I don't want views going down for creators on youtube.

Agree to disagree. That's kind of the point of an ad blocker.

If you want to support creators, stop blocking their ads.



Views support the videos in the algorithm.

Do you think someone like Louis Rossman, who wants to use Youtube to share his message but doesn't use YT as a business, would rather views or ad money?


Rossman has a separate business to support him.


Presumably Louis wants to reach as many people as possible and would like to know how many people he's reaching though.


I suspect his desire for people to block ads ranks higher than his desire for statistics.


I block ads on my favourite channel but then support the guy through Patreon every month. I figure he’ll get more revenue form that than the shitty ads
