LOL I cant believe how dumb pachter is.
He really thinks no content would be made if every single person in the world skipped ads?
Half the stuff on youtube (most of which is better than pach attack) is made by youtubers who are not chasing money. He just brought breaking bad into it because he wouldnt really have much of a case if he used his own show.

Anyway if people stopped working for money, maybe things would be better.

Examples?

watch 2 random videos, 1 is likely to be better than pach attack.

Rev3games, boogie2988, Robbaz, Matt Lees, VideogamerTV, StoneFoxmedia just to name a few all vastly better. They get paid per view Ads are irrelivent.

Pachter is not right because he states that ads make the content free, but it's not. You pay for the ads because companies add these costs to the price you pay for products.

Not examples of Youtubers that are better than pachter, examples of youtubers that aren't after the money.

I gave you a good list. If you want someone that's not in it for money, that would be robbaz.

That is far from irrelevant, they get paid for doing this, maybe even live off of it, that is exactly the point Pachter was making.

I dont think we cant tell who has enabled monitization but obviously those who upload copyrighted content wont have (I assume google doesnt pay them even if they signed up for it) and theres plenty of people uploading things like football highlights and movies just for the benefit of others, not themselves. Then theres people who make their own content but dont monetize it. I do not believe 100% of youtubers (those who have uploaded videos) are earning money from them and if this option was taken I dont think all of them would stop making videos overnight. Clearly a lot of them are attention whores and want to be celebrities which may possibly be a bigger factor than the peanuts they earn from the adverts on their videos.

They don''t get paid for Ads, that's the point. It's irrelivent because they get paid per video view so even if someone uses Ad block and skips all the Ads they get the same amount of money. However having an account that gets paid opens it up to Copy-right claims. There are pleanty of youtubers that do it for absolutly free becuase they don't want the hassle of dealing with having to dispute claims and having their videos taken down.
