YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

Trust me, there's no way people are going to fund creators that much.

Literally a bunch of martial arts YouTubers that keep getting asked by fans if they would play D&D together, so they started a patreon/gofundme and got back almost 500% of their funding goal in only 2 days.

People absolutely would/will fund the creators they care about.

If Patreon was enough, youtubers wouldn't enable midroll ads
