Also decreasing the likelihood of content that you like watching gets made? The creator is being paid from that ad revenue too.

    if my viewing actively cost the video creators money from me watching I'd probably feel guilty and stop

    but this isn't the case, I'm completely cost neutral to them

    but it does directly cost Google money... and I'm perfectly fine with that

      I'm not making a moral judgement here. I'm talking about sending a signal that this type of content is valuable to make, leading to more content of that type being made.

    Or maybe they will move to a platform that respects them. Gotta start somewhere.

      They're on YouTube because it's the platform that gives them the greatest chance of success. What other popular video platforms do you know that give you 55% of the ad revenue?

I watch YouTube on many devices through the app. At the time, I was using YouTube music.
