watching ads doesn't transfer money to YouTube. not stealing.
Watching ads absolutely does transfer money to YouTube, how do you think Google exists??
It's astonishing how naive (or obtuse) people can be.
advertisers pay google. I don't pay google by watching ads.
Advertisers pay Google when your watch ads. Goole pays the creators (and utilities, and rent, and employees, and..). By not watching ads, all those people are not getting paid, hence you are stealing.
advertisers pay google when google tells them I watched an ad. not when I do it
Even if you were right (which you aren't, ads don't work like that) it would change the fact you're stealing.
Does lying to yourself makes you feel less guilty?
I'm not lying at all, and I won't be made to feel guilty for avoiding ads
Deep down you are kinda guilty already, don't ya? You know what you are doing is wrong and yelling and strangers makes it easier...
