  • Because YouTube and Twitch are notorious for reducing ad payments or demontising creators. Have you forgotten about the adpocalypse already? Patreon also increased their fees with very little notice in 2019.

    It’d honestly be an idiotic move to not take a video sponsor if they’re offered, because that is guaranteed and likely upfront, supplemental income to support the creation of videos.

    Nebula is collectively creator owned, so it’s the only one of those that won’t fuck over creators for more money, but as I said, not a lot of people are paying for subscriptions. It’s small, the per-creator payouts are probably even less than Youtube.

    And finally, the real answer: Man’s gotta eat. Simple.

    All of that considered, I didn’t even see the sponsor ads you’re complaining about because I have Sponsorblock skip them automatically.












  • This isn’t necessarily a boomer “I hate my wife” meme comment though, right?

    It’s healthy in a long-term relationship to discuss things with your partner before doing them. When you communicate healthily, there are quite a few things you wouldn’t just spontaneously decide to do without talking to your significant other. They might have already made plans, they might need the car, they might not want to do the thing but think you should do it, they might remind you that you’re saving for a house deposit or a big trip, so on and so forth.
