    B-but according to lots of people we’re denying the content creators their revenue if we don’t stare at their ads like pathetic little sheep. Won’t somebody think of the advertisers???

      Not my fault they decided to work in an exploitative field.

      Abolish slavery? But who will employ the slave masters?!

        I thought that was every field under capitalism

          I think some are more exploitative than most. I work in a field that isn’t directly exploitative but effectively facilitates exploitation by others. Fields like advertising directly exploit others.

        Exactly! Whip cracking isn’t what anyone could call a transferrable skill! They went to school for years to learn how to use it, it’s all they know! If we get rid of slavery, their degrees go to waste!

        Learn to code, slaver!

      Content creators aren’t the enemy here, at least not the smaller scale ones. They often have no other sources of revenue.
