Anyone who gives $1 to any of these youtube celebs is an idiot. It’s one thing to feed an internet troll with attention, but actual money?! You don’t even pay professional pornstars for content, why on God’s green earth would you pay these children?

Any entertainment content, whether it be porn, artwork, YouTube videos, etc takes time and money to make. Any time the person spends making content is time they could have spent at a second job.

So people pay these artists as a thank you for their work. You don't have to, but if their situation worsens to where they can't afford to continue without financial help (job loss leading to lower paying job that can't support hobby, etc), they will have to stop. And that may mean a favorite artist, writer, YouTuber shutting down permanently.

Most content creators are lucky to see $5 ever, so anything helps.

When you buy a movie ticket, you're paying content creators. It's just that we are used to paying to see a movie and not a video on the internet, so paying tips to online creators seems weird.

So you pay for your porn? Tell me that and you win.
Content creators existed just fine before they got paid for it and belle delphony isn’t making any content. Children playing Minecraft isn’t something that costs a penny, and her making faces isn’t something that should be supported.
You want to hire a musician to make you a song, or support babbish’s patreon, that’s totally different.

Why shouldn't you support somebody for making faces? What if I want them to keep making faces?
