Save ASMR - Keep YouTube post-roll ads a choice

The Issue

 

Millions of people, including myself, use ASMR to fall asleep to. Now YouTube wants to take away the creator's choice of placing ads at the end of videos, and enforce it. This means every new monetized ASMR video will end with an ad, likely waking up the viewer, rendering all ASMR uploads useless for sleep.

 

YouTube is implementing these changes in November 2023, and going back from there will be nigh impossible once they see their ad revenue going up. Sign this petition and let's try to keep things the way they are, with the choice in the hands of the creators!

 

Note: Please save your money! Donating here will only pay change.org to spread the petition but since it's so niche it won't have much effect. If you want to contribute monetarily, donate to your favourite ASMR creator and hope that they spread the word :)
