TAD For Youtube

TAD is a service that allows you to monetarily support your favorite creators without spending any money! It works by letting you watch ads to earn TADs which you can then give to creators. Each TAD is worth $0.001, and on the desktop version each 'ad break' is worth 50 TADs. You watch up to 3 ad breaks per day, earning your favorite creators up to $0.15 each day. This may not sound like much, but creators often rely on the small donations of their audience, and TAD is the most efficient way you can donate without spending any money.

TAD4YT is an extension that integrates TAD into YouTube, making using the service more convenient and easier to remember. TAD4YT offers 4 ways to trigger TAD: at the start of a video, at the end, when the video is paused, or when you click a button. Each of these triggers only apply when you are watching a video by a creator who uses TAD, can be set to only trigger if you haven't donated the maximum yet that day, and can be turned off, so the extension won't interfere with your YouTube experience when you don't want it to. You can also watch part of the 'ad break', close TAD, and then reopen it to finish watching later as long as you don't change videos or reload the page. (click the extension icon next to the address bar for settings)

TAD4YT also supports the streaming platform Smashcast.tv. For Smashcast.tv, TAD can be triggered by loading, pausing, and a button, like for youtube, but it can also be triggered by chat; when the owner of a stream types "Time for a TAD ad break" into chat TAD will be triggered, when they Type "Back from the TAD ad break" into chat TAD will pause and close. The chat and load triggers are disabled by default.

TAD4YT also offers statistics, so you can see how much of a difference your making! for each creator, you can see how much you have donated to them for the current day, week, and month as well as for the last year (365 days).
