IDK; I blame them.
YouTube has become part of the world's social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.
Frankly it should be publicly owned.
Well, that's not in YouTube's interest, so I don't know how you can blame them for not being publicly owned.
If it somehow magically becomes publicly owned, your bills/taxes will reflect that (as they do with TV in many countries, it just gets added to the monthly electricity bill, whether you use it or not).
Okay. I can dig a publicly owned YouTube.
Are you willing to spend your tax dollars hosting flat earth content?
Far right? Thinly disguised racism?
It’s ironic: but at least by paying based on what is watched, you give money to those you consume.
We can pay for it by eating just a few of the rich.
