This community usually discusses consumer rights, but nobody is discussing this initiative. Is it maybe cuz Lemmy’s majority ain’t American?

    It is very silly.

    The video is monetized, and by having some ppl change their pfp to clippy and then linking to his video - I mean congrats to Mr. Rossmann for the big $$$

      Crazy thing is he also uploads to Odysee and paid to develop grayjay, I’m not even subscribed to his youtube channel and thanks to him I’m moving as many subs off the platform as possible. Quite a few creators upload all their shit to other platforms.

      also if you’re watching someone who advocates for adblockers without using one yourself that’s on you.

      He barely makes money off of these videos (negligible) and encourages all his users to use adblockers.

      Given his target audience I’m sure he’s at the lower end of the money paid per view. Also he could’ve taken a sponsorship on anyone of his hundreds of videos but he has not so far, so not really big $$$

      This screams, “SHOOT THE MESSENGER!” If you wait around looking for a perfect, pristine leader of a movement, you’ll get less done than a petition.
