Love doesn't have anything to do with it. You're selling yourself short thinking this channel has really helped you at all. It hasn't.

They've helped me make MANY friends. Friendship is worth more than views to me. And for the friendships and bonds they facilitated for me, I am thankful.

Even if you've benefited from it, it doesn't change the fact that it is a copyright infringement if they don't ask permission

Nothing can change the logistics of the situation, but I think a lot can be learned about how much a demonetization can affect many others. Not just the sole proprietor of the channel.

Anyway. Defending a channel that has infringed the rights of many community members because it helped buff your viewer stats by a few people here and there has made me lose a lot of respect for you. I suggest you re-evaluate the full scope of what actually happened here.

again, it's more about the friendships vs the viewers...

What does them being demonetized have to do with you joining a Discord and making friends then?

if it wasn't for their popularity, I would never have discovered them, nor their discord, nor a good amount of my friends. It's about community to me Simple, not money, vews, or shit like that. Views help find people to make friends. Friendships and community is ALL i care about.
