Tinkerer, Gamer, Programmer, Jack of all trades.
I use to, but it really takes most of the fun out of it. What’s sarcasm without the fun, it’s just being annoying.
Lately, sometimes I just throw the sarcasm out and gamble on it being noticed, other times I try to lay it on thick.
In this case, I thought using the well known bullshit concept of “I have nothing to hide” would convey my true stance.
CPM on tech, finance, and health (a lot of what I watch) is often $5-10. And apparently google pays creators even more than that rate for premium viewers.
Even so, direct payment is likely to be more profitable to creators than just watching ads or having premium.
But even as a technical person, I’ve never really been interested in finding ways to block ads on my PC, MacBook, iPhone, Android (when I had one), and Roku/AppleTV. And potentially having to keep up with the apparently changing landscape of YouTube adblocker a for each. Sounds like a pain in the ass. I’d rather just pay for family premium, and easily share the benefits with my mom, sister, & wife without having to offer technical support for their ad blocking.
