Also decreasing the likelihood of content that you like watching gets made? The creator is being paid from that ad revenue too.

if my viewing actively cost the video creators money from me watching I'd probably feel guilty and stop

but this isn't the case, I'm completely cost neutral to them

but it does directly cost Google money... and I'm perfectly fine with that
