Imagine paying for content. What’s the saying? If it’s free you are the product?
Anyway, I paid long before the AdBlock crackdown.
Idk man, paying for YT premium feels like paying for an ad-free experience, not content. Like my subscription would be going to YT, not the creators who made the content.
You forget that YouTube was always free in the before times of long long ago. Content was free and delivered flawlessly. Minimal ads. Maybe banner ads or something. Now it’s ads every few minutes.
That’s obviously not sustainable. At some point they need to recover expenses on all their infrastructure and development. It can either be through ads or a subscription model. Alternatively they shut down permanently. Which do you want?
At this point, I’m fine with it shutting down. If it shut down, creators would go somewhere else, we could end up with something much better. i won’t watch youtube if I have to watch minutes of ads before the video, and more throughout the video. Hard fucking pass.
Ok. Then stop watching instead of complaining. I don’t watch ads either.
I just bypass google entirely by hosting my own modified invidious instance and nuked my account.
Free, no clutter, blazing fast. Took maybe 20 minutes to setup.
