my patreon bill is about $100 a month, I have a nebula subscription, and i pay for dropout, so yes i do.

and i pay those people if i engage with their creations. i still get ads in their videos, so i use sponsorblock.

advertising is emotional manipulation that i do not wish to be subjected to when not actively seeking it out. doesn’t matter if it’s done out of necessity, give me as a viewer a way to support you directly if that’s the situation.
