I buy merchandise from video creators, do non-annual donations (1 is annual) and assume commission for affiliate links can happen in the background when I buy stuff.

I admit I mostly give back to bigger players (e.g. my OS creator), and less so to those who are just starting off that don’t see as much.

I demand control over my computing on my hardware. After I casually request media do not feel entitled to run anti-features without my permission.

I do think that hard effort to create works should be rewarded but I do believe ads have a cost - and it’s too damn high.

I don’t suppose this VTuber is part of the cannibalizing shitshow “reactors” (defined here as reuploading the majority of people’s work as a substitute for watching the original)?
