    Be real: do content creators even earn that much from ad revenue? Or is most of their income from sponsors or fan support on platforms like patreon?

    From what little they earn from ad revenue, a miniscule amount of that is lost from people using adblockers, too.

      you mean the sponsor spots that can (partially) rely on the view count to be offered?

      The bot doesn’t care what the channel is when it posts its links, it doesn’t check for monetisation, sponsor spots or Patreon, it just posts the link.

        Any small channel earns basically nothing from ad revenue.

        Any big channel won’t feel a dent from a handful viewers not viewing ads.

        There’s no harm either way. And, for the end user, I think the privacy and freedom benefits outweigh any benefits of using Google software.
