He has always followed this ethical principle and has a strong will to keep it that way, not only out of respect for the presenters and performers, who are the main creators of the content, but also out of a higher moral principle. Until recently, a channel operated in this way was hosted on YouTube without added ads, and when this policy changed, I at least hoped that if the profit generated in this way is attributed only to a third party, i.e. the administrator / owner of this medium, the amount of unintentionally uploaded content would be at a reasonable and acceptable level . Unfortunately, this is not the case, and I'm afraid that no distinction is even made between paid and non-paid channels. So far I don't even know of any way to avoid embedded ads in any acceptable way or at least reduce them to an acceptable level. I definitely don't want to support this paradigm, that's why I don't even encourage you to subscribe to a service such as YouTube Premium (CZK 179 / month), which allows you to watch videos without ads. If anyone can think of a reasonable solution, I would greatly appreciate any advice, e.g. the email listed in the LLionTV end log of most of this creator's videos.
