I do understand the appeal but I also quite like a lot of the smaller content creators and I think they deserve to get paid.
Pirating from a corporation that makes several millions in profits is one thing, I'm not going to pick the pockets of my fellow man.
Ethically it is not so easy, you are also giving money to the evil google. The ideal is to donate directly, so they are not subject to youtube's stingy payments or demonetizations.
I agree. But I'd rather pay my fellow man even if it means corporate fat cats are also getting a slice.
I did receive a Project Farm t-shirt as a gift which was nice, but I unfortunately don't have the resources to subscribe to each and every patreon so I'll watch the ads in lieu.
