Im not holding my breath for someone to start hosting petabytes of videos for free. I don’t like ads, so I’m just going to pay.

    Used to be ads on the side of videos, and they were still scams like "Hit the target to win a FREE ipad!" At least they didn't block the actual content. No one should ever feel bad about blocking ads lmao.

    Ads are as pure brainwashing as the definition allows for, literally changing your subconscious behavior by ceaseless repetition. It's considered torture under the Geneva convention, not sure how people got to the point where they think this is ok on radio, tv, billboards, everywhere all the time 24/7, but I have a feeling the brainwashing played a role.

    It's also cool that YouTube Premium pays a bigger cut to creators when compared against regular YouTube ads.

    If you want to support Youtubers, then buy their merch or something like that.

    You say that as if it's the only option while being on a platform that explicitly isn't a single organization hosting the entire thing. There's no way this is a serious comment.

    Then give us a fair price. YouTube is not making any content, so I just wish to pay for the hosting privileges. That shouldn't cost me 15€/month. Give me simple prenium that removes ads for 6-7€, and I will jump in. It's all about what I feel I'm getting.

    For instance, I fucking bought a 1300€ pixel 8 pro ROFL.

    Counterpoint. There used to be far less ads

    Counterpoint. Still not making profits.

    Counterpoint to the counterpoint: Youtube made $28 billion in revenue in 2021. Bandwidth and storage space are expensive but i can't believe they're that expensive. If they're not profitable then i have to assume that's a decision they're making.
