Ooh yeah this popped up in my YouTube suggestions too and I started watching it before even seeing this lemmy post. Nice to see Drew Gooden tackling intelligent adult topics for a change 😄 it's always been apparent he's intelligent, but now he's using big sophisticated words like investment bankers & real estate agents use.
I get that Nord is annoying with the amount of sponsorship deals they do, and that they're probably not a VPN people should trust (or at least high risk people), but YouTubers do have to eat and pay bills man. I skip almost every sponsor I see, as they usually never offer anything I need, but I understand why creators do them.
It's a necessary evil, as many people (like me) are not going to pay a YT every month to help keep their channel up, especially if you watch many. This is the issue PeerTube has preventing it from being a place that draws in more creators; you can only generate revenue from the charity and kindness of viewers.
Of course some are purely doing channels as a hobby, but there are many who need their channel to live, or have this as a side-gig so they don't live paycheck-to-paycheck. So can we not judge?
