    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?

        I have a small channel (5k) and YouTube ads make about 40% of what I earn.

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