  • I believe that the existence of ad blockers do change the situation quite a lot.

    I also pay for youtube premium. Before doing so I was using an adblocker and didn’t see a single ad before subscribing.

    The reason I did so was that multiple creators I was following mentioning that a view from a premium subscriber was worth more to them financially than from a regular one.

    It’s the easiest way for me to support multiple creators at once.

    The moment my experience decreases, Youtube looses my support and I go Patreon instead. As ublock exists I don’t have to live through ads at all.



  • That’s too broad a claim for me to agree.

    In this specific event, adjusting for inflation on older movies might show that there was precedent where a movie directed by a single woman was more successful than this one.

    If that happen, that achievement should also be celebrated. If that didn’t happen, this movie should be even more celebrated.

    Asking for more data isn’t the same thing as attacking a claim.

    Maybe I’m just naive, but I like to assume good intentions.

    If someone actually say something sexist, calling them out is important. But I don’t think assuming sexism first is a good thing either.
