I'm sorry if you think that. I'd be interested to know who else you consider not a person.

I would be interested to know why you consider YouTube to be a person.
Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United notwithstanding, corporations are not people.

That's true. But that's (a per a quick Googling) about half a cent per video watched (at most). I absolutely think it's a great idea to compensate them (as I said, I support a lot of people on Patreon via small sums), but even if you give them, like, a dollar once, you're probably giving them more than by months and months of watching their content with ads.

Yes. Of course becoming a Patreon is a stronger form of support than simply watching ads on the channel.
But if you're not a Patreon and you're also blocking ads, then you're depriving the creator of even the pittance of revenue that comes from advertising, and so it's disingenuous to claim there's no moral issue with that.
I have also blocked and skipped ads BTW, so I'm not making myself out to be morally superior somehow.
BTW I also don't see how whether YouTube is a person or not is germane to the discussion.
Gyrre:
Goddammit.
Apparently this walkout was from last year and either someone thought they'd have a laugh reblogging the post or they're protesting YT's new ToS that allows them to just delete people's accounts without warning.
I'm embarrassed I didn't clock the date in that first twitter screencap.
LTK:
To be honest, I didn't notice the date either, it took someone else to point it out to me too.
