    Advertisers pay Google when your watch ads. Goole pays the creators (and utilities, and rent, and employees, and…). By not watching ads, all those people are not getting paid, hence you are stealing.

        Even if you were right (which you aren’t, ads don’t work like that) it would change the fact you’re stealing.

        Does lying to yourself makes you feel less guilty?

            Deep down you are kinda guilty already, don’t ya? You know what you are doing is wrong and yelling and strangers makes it easier…
