What do you think of e-begging?

[Cresselia~~]

What if someone fundraised, bought the said item for real, but then was found using his own money to buy designer bags?
ie: He/ she wasn't that poor.
Does that count as spam?

Not like it's a huge problem, but I just wanted to ask.

Now I'm more interested on whether I should e-beg.
Because I have a rich dad who loves to give me money, even now that I am employed.
But my mum is against him giving money to me, and she is very aggressive towards me.
We don't live together. I live alone. I'd really love to get money elsewhere.

I wonder if it is unethical for people like me to be e-begging.

You're correct. They are also not free to make. I assume you don't use adblock? And you are correct, it's not enough for a living. If you do YouTube full time, you need additional revenue streams to pay for it, beyond adsense. This is accomplished by patreon, YouTube premium, twitch donations, etc. I assume you don't do any of these, given your stance on "e begging"'. Do you only watch YouTube creators who do this as their side job? Cause if you watch people whose full time job is online video creation without supporting them in some way, you're counting on others to do that instead.

This is irrelevant. If you make YouTube videos as a hobby, that's your choice. If you want to make them full time, that's your choice as well. If you want to enjoy professional level videos, that's your choice and you should chip in to support these creators making content for you. If you are content to only watch hobbyists, then go right ahead.

Oh, I didn't use AdBlock.
