It just strikes me as odd to say “Fuck YouTube for pushing all these ads, I’m switching to Nebula” when Nebula is paid and the only reason they are getting ads on YouTube is because they refuse to pay. It’s essentially punishing YouTube for having an ad-supported option at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 point 2 years ago It's about incentives. Alphabet is in the biz of serving advertisers. That's their paying customer. This is baked into their entire ecosystem of products and services. It's who they are.
