Because you are a half decent person with integrity and you feel people that create stuff you get value and entertainment from should be compensated in some way for it?

Because you don't feel entitled to people doing shit for you for nothing like they owe you something.

Cats like to give these mega corporations money for no reason.

I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in the better part of a decade. If you don't have YouTube Premium blame yourself for being cheap as hell. YouTube Premium is pretty much the GOAT subscription service no ads on YouTube and YouTube Music with access to songs from YouTube videos that aren't supposed to be on streaming services.

But you're paying them for no ads

The creators not the platform are the concern.

YouTube became what you call a monopoly by being the best of the platforms to compensate the creators

they became the biggest by being bought out by google - the company with teh biggest pockets.

they have those pockets because they spy on you and follow you around online (adsense, analytics) and offline (android, UHF, gps) WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.

but it's not effectively a monopoly. Alternatives for google products exist.

it's up to you to use those alternatives...you and the other guy continue to use google products out of laziness, complacent

"The U.S. Department of Justice is considering asking a federal judge to break up Google after its ubiquitous search engine was declared an illegal monopoly, but it is just one of many possible remedies under review, according to a court filing."
