I would love to hear the story of how it went if you are down

I have largely the same opinion as the accepted answer on this RPG Stackexchange post.

That is, while the enemy is paying attention to you, you are not stealthed, you would not be able to sneakily snatch a pouch or unused weapons. But you can try to cut the straps holding them.

Personally, I would probably rule it like this:

If you actually try to go close in and grab a pouch and hold it in your hands, then after the Sleight of Hand check they get an opportunity attack on you, because you are focused on trying to snatch an object. They notice that opening to strike. And it would use their reaction. But again, this is my personal opinion.

I think the baseline of what I would want is:

• Have actual moderation of the ads. Don't allow malware ads, don't allow porn ads etc
• Don't allow obtrusive ads, or at least categorize them and have preferences. Do NOT play my ads 2x the volume of whatever I was watching.
• Don't interrupt my video with ads. Play before or after. Ideally after, but I can see why that would not be feasible. I guess it is also feasable if the creator marks ad breaks, like the current-day sponsor segments.

I genuinely think Youtube premium is alrightish as it is. I wouldn't pay for it; though, since I do not want to give my money to Google. They are getting enough out of me that I don't want to give them.

I honestly just want the alternatives, like PeerTube, to have a funding model, which allows creators to get paid. Donations? Sure. Optionally ads? Sure. I think peertube having opt-in ads that go to the creator would go a long way.
