Isn't he the same person who calls adblocking piracy?

I mean I get that Youtubers have no morals and it's all about money but that seems excessively hypocritical, even for a Youtube "personality".

Youtubers have no morals? What kind of idiotic generalisation is that?

BTW, adblocking is a form piracy, that I'm completely fine with.
