The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership.

    If enough creators moved, the fans would follow.

    Unfortunately, the creators won’t move to a platform that doesn’t have users to watch them. And users won’t bother with a platform that doesn’t have creators to watch.

      Some fans would follow. If 100% of their subscribed channels moved tomorrow, 90% still wouldn’t move to the new platform for a meaningful length of time.
