You can have a diverse community that has a large majority opinion. And what I said is certainly the prevailing opinion.

And to answer you about your personal view: You are stealing the right to distribution and taking money away from both corporations but more importantly creators. And I've seen the rates of direct donations eg patrons . It's not ideological for most people, it's about getting content for free.

Are you donating to every channel you are watching? I doubt it. Even the people who care mostly only donate directly to one of two top patrons, while still consuming many many more.

If you are actually donating, then good for you, I congratulate you for living what you preach and have zero qualms. But you would be a statistical edge case.
