Install ublock origin nigger what the fuck are you doing, how are you just okay with companies stealing your life away in 5-30 second increments?
Cos I care about the people who make the content actually getting their dues.
1. Adblock
Go to the channel's "About" page, find their patreon/ko-fi/whatever, give money directly.
Then use an adblocker. Ad revenue goes almost entirely to google, the creator gets very little (if indeed Google feels like paying them at all). A single dollar donation once means more money to the creator than a hundred adblocker-less watchers loyally watching each video for a decade.
Fair enough, I haven't really looked into the specifics of how much they get but you're probably right.
From what I've seen, YouTube pays out about $0.018 per view. YouTube takes a 45% cut of all ad revenue, and Twitch takes 50% of the subscription costs people pay to streamers.

No shade to AnOminous but I see this all the time and I’m not sure I believe it. It just seems unnecessarily shitty, like more of an immature teenage girl thing than a woman thing. Am I just autistic or is this a real thing grown adults do?
It depends on the comment, the woman, and the situation. My mom is incredibly no-nonsense, and very...un-womanly? Almost like a "not like other girls" situation, but that's not the point. The point is, if you looked ugly, or did something my mom didn't like, she would tell you.
Hoo boy, I guess someone hasn't been around enough middle age women. My mother used to be a kindergarten teacher, her colleagues would do this shit on the daily, I think I picked up on it happening at the age of 6. My grandma and her friends exchange these "pleasantries" on the phone until someone gets so mad they stop talking, and they're all over 80.
Please do share.
I felt it was maybe rude to leave this without a response. As others have mentioned, this issue is complicated and could be a symptom of all sorts of problems with the state of our society's culture or economy. It's not really on women alone to fix all of these issues, nor would I even be able to say exactly how it would be tackled. I also don't know to what degree my self-esteem issues parallel those of other men. I can say that more female-led dialogue between the sexes, like this thread, is probably a good idea. My reasoning is that just not knowing led me to assume the worst. I imagine other men end up the same way or even worse, because of how defeatist and bitter male spaces can be on the subject of women. It's kind of stupid and simple, but compliments are also massive. I don't know if I was included in guys who you found "incredibly funny and well spoken" but it's really heartwarming to hear stuff like that.
Expounding on this and my previous post, I think men are just starved of positive feedback and/or affection, at the very least compared to our childhoods. I think women are afraid to give men compliments out of fear that they'll get the wrong idea, and men are afraid to give other men compliments out of fear that they'll get the wrong idea. I've noticed in cultures where homosexuality is still frowned upon, men are able to be open with and supportive of each other to a degree that I've never experienced as a straight man in the anglosphere, probably because the idea that one of them is gay is about as salient as the idea that one of them fucks dogs; it's just not something they seem to worry about because there's a sociocultural agreement that you don't ruin the sanctity of fraternity by trying to fuck your homies, whereas now that "it's okay to be gay" emotional intimacy between straight men is mostly taboo.
They aren't always trying to be shitty. Sure, many of them are, but the ones that aren't are the ones who were taught to do that shit to "keep the peace" and make people happy.
Interesting. I grew up around that time, my mom really emphasized looking for something good and being genuine about it when giving compliments. I think it’s a nicer way to handle things. She had a real thing about lying and impressed it upon me. But I can see how many people learn to just bullshit a bit with varying levels of grace, I do it too.
