My "favorite" lecture from young people is the one in which they berate me for "stealing content" by not watching ads on YouTube.

I have a vivid memory of YouTube being a platform where normal people could share videos of their kids and pets or other fun random low quality but entertaining things

I don't understand why they think we care if we're stealing content regardless. I pirate movies and TV shows, but they don't whine about that, in fact, most will approve of it. Why draw the line at YouTubers?

Because they think that they'll be YouTube superstars one day, and we're stopping them
