    Yeah I hate to say it but it does remind me to do it.

    I can name my 5 favorite youtubers for each of my interests and hobbies by name or channel name, I’m a grownup I know how to find what I want.

    BUT I also want to support these people who make me my entertainment for free. I dont always remember to like their videos but I know its important for the algorithm to make them more money so when they say it I think “Yeah, if it means you can keep making a living off this shit… ok”

      They’re not doing it for free. The few that do it for free don’t give a shit if you subscribe or not. The really successful ones make a ton of money.
