    Is using up resources without paying for it. It’s stealing by any definition.

        Watching ads absolutely does transfer money to YouTube, how do you think Google exists??

        It’s astonishing how naive (or obtuse) people can be.

          advertisers pay google. I don’t pay google by watching ads.

            Advertisers pay Google when your watch ads. Goole pays the creators (and utilities, and rent, and employees, and…). By not watching ads, all those people are not getting paid, hence you are stealing.

              advertisers pay google when google tells them I watched an ad. not when I do it

                Even if you were right (which you aren’t, ads don’t work like that) it would change the fact you’re stealing.

                Does lying to yourself makes you feel less guilty?

                  I’m not lying at all, and I won’t be made to feel guilty for avoiding ads

                    Deep down you are kinda guilty already, don’t ya? You know what you are doing is wrong and yelling and strangers makes it easier…

      who do you pay for all the oxygen you use up?

        Oxygen is not produced by workers. Electricity, bandwidth, storage, security, software, video content are all produced by workers.

        For a commie you are quite unaware of the means of production…

          seems like you aren’t aware of communist opposition to private property.

                They don’t, you’re just trying to change the subject to distract from your subconscious telling you you’re wrong.

                  wages are paid by property owners. communism is a moneyless society.

                    Wages are paid by whoever pays them. Customers, owners or coops. Nothing to do with property.

                    There hasn’t been a moneyless society, so communism would be, if anything. If we’re doing fantasy, I like star wars better.
