So stealing is defined (in some states) as taking property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of the property. So you’re incorrect and [email protected] might be breaking YouTube’s terms and condition not the law, and it’s not theft.
If Google were paying the content creators anything even remotely resembling the kind of income from advertisers the content earns, I might have a shred of sympathy for them losing a tiny bit of advertising revenue if some user watches a video without watching the same three ads they’ve seen ten times already that day.
You’re spending a lot of time and effort defending one of the richest corporations in the world. It’s weird.
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…
no. telling people spreading misinformation they’re wrong is cathartic to me
Whatever you need to tell yourself. Thieves don’t get far in life, so reconsider someday.
calling me names won’t change the facts.
If you steal, it’s not a name, it’s a definition.

PS: Has it occurred to you that I’m defending the workers that earn a living on the platform and are hurt by stealing?
Has put occurred to you that young impressionable minds are hurt by you lying on the Internet that skipping ads is theft or that it hurts people?
50% in fact.
stealing has a specific definition. I’m not stealing.
Taking things or using resources without paying the expected price. So theft. Tsk Tsk.
