    Have you tried paying for it?

        Then stop using it 🤷‍♂️ That’s a personal value. I find yt+music for the family for$22 a steal.

        The entitlement of you all is crazy.

            Lololol you are directly stealing from creators. There isn’t even some thin connection. They get paid on ad views and subscriptions. You are straight up taking money from creatives.

              I’m under no obligation to watch advertisements. They can try to advertise to me if they want, I can avoid it however I want. Did you ever grow up with linear TV? Did you just eventually piss yourself because it would have been unfair to the commercial broadcast company to not pay attention to the ads? You mook.

                  You are under an obligation to maximize your shareholder value as a consumer, anything against that violates the prime directive and will send bots from the matrix to simp for it. Thanks for the reminder, I don’t have to watch anything. What a revelation of information I did not know before this.

              Content creators don’t make as much from ads as you think. Apparently selling merch and sponsorships is where most comes from.

              Imagine thinking content uploaded to a proprietary platform is still yours

          With the amount of telemetry and trackable data they’ve collected and potentially sold, and the quality of both the service and the content being in a constant decline, I consider my malware-free access to the service to be paid for life.

          Shit, considering the way they handled recent controversies, I see it as a moral obligation to hit them in the wallet.

      No, steal from them as much as possible. Stealing from corporations is morally good.

          If you’re worried about creators, support them via their patreons or what means they determine. They aren’t making much directly from YouTube, and their support streams are more certain that way.

          I think the YouTube copyright and claim system will take care of that more than a couple thousand viewers can.

      I will never ever pay for youtube and I’ll never stop blocking ads. Theres always a way, and if the day comes where ad blockers actually become iniffective then thats it for me, I’ll find somewhere else. I’m already a reddit refugee since they blocked 3rd party aps and charge a subscription fee, I can’t figure out a workaround yet so I dropped reddit altogether.

      Sure, just throw money at the corpos, but please don’t act surprised when they suddenly double the premium fee, or when they start sneaking in ads for premium users. That’s the problem with corpo greed, it just never ends, and the moment you give in to it, you lose.

      Why should I pay some extortionate fee each month on Google’s monopoly? Even if I do that they’re still hoovering up all the data they can get from me.

      U-block Origin on desktop, revanced/newpipe for mobile.

      IMO the money is much better spent on directly supporting content creators rather than padding the coffers of a 1.75 trillion dollar anti-competitive, monopolistic, tax-dodging, privacy-destroying company like Google.

        Exactly, I whack out almost GBP 20 per month to content creators I like.

        Spend the money where it will make a difference!
