EPTThere are some pages that i consume regularly, but i couldn't really be convinced to use the internet without adblock, so i am thinking of just giving those people the money they would have earned off of me otherwise.

There are some pages that i consume regularly, but i couldn't really be convinced to use the internet without adblock, so i am thinking of just giving those people the money they would have earned off of me otherwise. It depends a bit. Very niche websites that attract a specific rather than generic audience that can be targeted with ads highly relevant to said audience can make significantly more $ per view/click than websites that bring in a wide mix of users; that said, views without clicks from a single user don't amount to much no matter what. Like, if you give a website a dollar per year that's going to be way more than they'd earn from you disabling your adblock assuming you never engage with any ads on their website beyond simply having them in your view. | ||

I don't know what they are, or actually if it's using a word or more some automated sentiment analysis thing, but yes comments viewed as inappropriate or hostile get automatically held. Youtubers can also set their own "trigger words". This was notable in particular because I saw a video that highlights how bots can doxx people by spamming random names/places on people's comments, then by checking which ones don't go through, obtaining a list of names/places that the YouTuber doesn't want to spread through their comments (i.e. probably their own).. | ||

It is great that you want to protect your brother. I think, Documenting everything is important. this link might be helpful: Do's and Don'ts to Help Someone who is Being Scammed There are information centers from the police that you might want to call and talk to them. Since I saw you are German: You might want to search for something like "Kriminalprävention" Talk to someone else like the "weiße Ring". weisser-ring.de I wish you and your brother the best. | ||

Thanks mate. This was helpful and a good reminder. My first approach could have been less blunt, I'll be more careful. It's just the disappointment because it's so obvious. | ||
