If nobody needs them then why are they complaining? Just don't watch it. Your problem is solved!
Videos on YouTube are so much better than the era you're remembering. If nordvpn or whoever sponsoring videos is the way for creators to continue making great things on a regular schedule, I'm not gonna make a huff when they take a minute to acknowledge them. I skip most of them, too, but I'm not venting about what a terrible inconvenience it is.
And sorry for not specifying that I wasn't speaking about reaction videos and meme compilations when I said "high quality", I thought it that would be pretty damn clear but I guess we watch different things on YouTube
Stop acting like it's morally wrong to get paid for your work. If there's a market for it, why shouldn't people do it full time? Should Hollywood work for free, too?
