It's not childish and it's not hate. It's objective criticism of a man that lost his cool and insulted a large % of internet users and anyone that ever purchased a DVR. Unless you are him you have no idea what GT has given him, and you have no proof he doesn't get anything. He is a successful businessman in the US that generates lots of profit for GT which is a partner company like Machinima that has boiler plate contracts for their content creators where they get access to tools and games as well as pay as long as they meet a threshold of views. Sure there are lots of people with passion that do it for free. However he isn't one of them. His passion is business, the market place, and making money. So you can bet your ass he is making money. If he's not then he's not very good at his job and no one should take his opinions seriously. You don't know that his company knows and is ok with it. Even if they do and are it doesn't change the fact that he is doing it. Lots of monetized youtubers are ok with adblock but according to Pachter they are the scum of the earth which is funny because he is doing much worse by stealing from his company with or without their knowledge and permission. So yes we do have to worry about it because he just insulted a large group of people and he did it while committing an arguably worse crime by using company property and time to make videos that generate profits for GT.

So basically you're saying he might get paid (even though he's said before he doesn't get paid for this) and is stealing from his company, who have a problem with that (even though Pach Attack has been going on for several years now and there probably would have been consequences, if his company had a real problem with it), because you say so, brilliant.
Youtubers have accepted adblock because they can't do anything about it, that's the more likely explanation.
And, wow he just insulted a large percentage of the internet, man I'm sure this is gonna haunt him, just imagine what those people could do now, they could stop visiting the site... wait, since they're using Adblock their clicks are worthless anyway, welp I guess he won't be losing any sleep over this.
If you don't contribute to the content being created then, don't be surprised if content creators don't value you that much.
