The amount of shilling for Google in that thread is... actually not surprising at all.

i watch youtube(a lot), but i would never invest two minutes into building up some channel that is hoping to get paid from clicks and views...

why? because google/youtube can and will DE-MONETIZE you with no notice.

if youtube can demonitize me, i can demonitize them by watching their videos while using an adblocker.

fuck youtube and fuck google.

If they ever get smart enough to circumvent adblockers. I'll stop watching. The funny thing is that it's basically trivial for them. To nuke adblockers out of orbit and make adblocking impossible.
