    Sure, I do this too, as well as pay for YouTube Premium, bc some of that goes back to the creators I watch every day 🤷‍♀️

      It’s ublock origin + patreon for me, no doubt a much larger % goes to the creator that way

      The ones that are worth it and need support have their own ways to donate money to them, usually through a patron-like service.

      $1/mo directly does a lot more than paying a company that is actively working on a late stage capitalism surveillance state.

        Sure, but I don’t have endless cash to subscribe to everyone’s patreons, etc. So I go this way, or, I just don’t contribute at all.
