    Did you read what I wrote? I’m responding to @Gigan@lemmy.world’s original statement of “So 100% of women have been sexually assaulted?”. @boogetyboo@aussie.zone then responded with “Every woman I know including myself has?”. I simply replied saying that “Everyone I know” is not the same as “100% of women”.

    If you read all of that, and you’re standing by your reply, then it sounds like you’re agreeing with me and @Gigan@lemmy.world by stating “Assaulted? No.”

    But too many have been sexually harassed at least once. I think it was 1 in 3 girls experiences sexual harassment before age 18.

    I completely agree with you. But that’s not what my comment was about.

    Every woman I know including myself has?

    Your anecdotal experience doesn’t equate to 100% of women.

    You don’t have to believe anything. It’s not a faith based system.

    It’s also not an anecdote-based system.

    Just speak to women and you’ll hear how common it is.

    Common is not equal to all. OP is doubting the implication that all women have been assaulted.

    At the end of the day, Google’s paying them more for my views than if I were an ad-viewing user. So for ~$20/mo (for family plan), that’s much more financially viable for me than if I were to pay $1/mo to all 100+ creators I watch.

    Are you trolling? It feels like you are. At no point in this thread is anyone saying you need to start paying more. If you’re paying $20/mo for premium, and you’re using an arbitrary amount of $1 as the donation minimum per creator, then why not just donate $1 to 20 different creators for each month? Then the next month, donate to the next 20 creators, then the next 20, and so on. Believe it or not, all of those creators still get paid more by your direct donations – even measured over several months – compared to the tiny fraction they’d get from that same money via your premium subscription.

    It seems like you’re trying to argue some moral high ground of funding content you enjoy on youtube. That’s fine. But it takes about 10 seconds of critical thinking to find ways to do it where you pay the same, the creators get paid more, and google gets paid nothing.

    As much as I would love to support all of those creators directly, it’s not a financially viable option for me.

    No one’s suggesting you pay more than what you’re paying now. I simply suggested you pay them directly. Take whatever you’re paying per month/year to google directly, then divide that up and contribute directly to the creators of your choosing.

    which is more than they’d get from me if I was adblocking their videos

    Now you’re moving the goalposts. No one is arguing against the fact that content creators get some amount of money from ads and subscriptions. The argument was that donating to them directly is better / more revenue for the creators, since google doesn’t get a cut. You spend the same amount, the creators get paid more, google gets paid nothing.

    It’s bizarre how you are such an apologist for google.
