If everyone was like you, YouTube wouldn't exist and all those creators wouldn't be able to do what they do.

Things have costs. You thinking that you're entitled to people's labor for free makes you selfish and entitled, not smart.

"People who actually pay for food when it's possible to just shoplift from grocery stores or dine and dash are idiots!"

Obviously digital content isn't directly analogous to physical theft, but go ask your favorite creators if they'd be okay with all their revenue going to zero.
