just ask them to offer lower donation amounts/tiers, if the existing tiers are too high.

Oh yes just reach out and ask your dozens of subscriptions to modify their subscription tiers just for you, I’m sure you’ll easily be able to reach them as one of their thousands/hundreds of thousands/millions of subscribers.

This really would not be much harder than managing an RSS feed.

lol. lmao even.

Would you give to a charity that had the same 'admin overhead'

YouTubers are not a charity. They’re businesses using the YouTube platform for the convenience it provides them despite the overhead. I’m fully justified in utilizing the same platform to support them financially for the same reason.

Ok so you're fine with paying money to Google.

Got it, you willingly fund an immoral corporation that's on many different boycott lists of many different organizations, for many different reasons.

Sure, ok then.

I on the other hand value my moral nonhypocrisy more than you do.

Guess we just have different preferences.

No I just think you’re just an insufferable dork with a frankly privileged amount of free time on their hands to fuck about with what amounts to little more than internet virtue signaling.

I find no value in your hollow moral grandstanding at all and I don’t think anyone else here does either.

I think it’d be better for your health to value touching grass over this nonsense you’re talking about.
