I’d rather click two buttons than give them my card information and send them money, but ok.
It’s like saying AAA games should probably be way more than $60. Despite the fact they used to be $40… then $50… and more expensive carts have ALWAYS been around since the SNES? and definitely N64 days lol.
sounds like propaganda
Or you can use an ad-blocker. Also youtube is profitable just fine. If it wasn’t Google would have shut it down a long time ago.
Google will never see a single cent from me! (besides when i buy my next pixel because they are actually kinda worth the money)
😂
Creators also earn way more from Premium views than ad views.
I have no problem with services being ad-supported, and I also have no problem with them charging for a premium ad-free option.
Your ignorance is so cute! I could just
punchpinch those cheeks!What would you say to someone with premium that still uses revanced because it’s a better client? Probably nothing because there’s no script for that.
I used revanced on sync for Reddit to keep it alive past it’s death date, though I’m much more engaged with Lemmy since Sync released for it too.
What makes the revanced version of YouTube better to you? Maybe I should check it out.
Sponsor block integration.
That too, I’ve been using it so long I forgot it was even a thing that needed blocking. 😆
Downvotes for one thing, also removing shit I’ll never use, easier downloading when I want to archive a video, etc.
ReVanced is the way.
ReVanced resurrected Sync for Reddit for me, maybe I should check out what ReVanced does for YouTube.
No, you love the creators you watch. Youtube, as a google company, created a businessmodel out of stealing data/private information and selling it to the highest bidder. I use newpipe, i never see ads but if i have a creator i want to support i send them money as direct as possible without middlemen (direct donations during livestreams for example). i pay the creator for their work. If google wouldn’t violate my human dignity by shoving a camera up my ass 24/7 i might consider giving them money to run their servers but as long as they try to make me a product they won’t see money nor data from me
No, you love the creators you watch.
And Youtube makes that possible. Show me another service that is as good as Youtube is? Unlimited uploads for everyone, extremely fast constant delivery network. Require no logins or accounts to access the site. 4K video etc… etc… All for the low price of free with ads, or pay for no adds. They every are even one of the best at paying content creators. There is a reason almost every content creator ends up having some kind of account on Youtube.

I don’t believe Google is in the business of selling data. There business is ad delivery. They keep the data to themselves as it is their secret sauce to deliver ads.
Google absolutely is in the business of selling user data, through their ad network. AdSense customers use that data to target ads. It’s their whole business model. Just because they aren’t being given a database with all that data doesn’t mean they aren’t paying for access to it.
Facebook operates the same way.
That’s a fair point, maybe I should look into using newpipe and use what was my monthly payment as a direct donation to my favorite creators instead. Thanks for the informative reply!
yeah I would say block ads, and then whatever u would normally spend on premium, donate to your favorite creators
the creatora only get 55% (which isn’t bad all things considered) of the ad/premium revenue. by donating directly u spend the same but they get more
But to be fair, if YouTube themselves don’t make anything then the service that hosts my content creators isn’t sustainable. So just getting premium feels like the most moral option all things considered, at least for me.
What hoops? It just a few taps and voila you have YouTube free of ads.
woala
Is this a cross between a wallaby and a koala?

You could say I’m a master…
Whoosh moment… but I see what you did there - and I for one, like it!:-P
Though tbf, I must be insane, b/c I legit just watch the ads. Okay so not watch watch them, or listen either tbh, but let them play out I mean… I watch fewer than one YT video per day, most often per week even, or sometimes per month, so that is just easier for me than anything else, and it feels good to know that I am supporting the content creators that way, which iirc YT does at least a halfway decent job of? (or I could be misremembering that, but I thought like not the best yet not the worst either, more solidly in the middle, median-wise if not average?) Like, it is literally the least I can offer:-D.
Unless I want to listen to music, in which case I just turn on blocking of the ads - I guess I am not all that perfect (or bat-shit insane - ain’t nobody got time for dat!):-P.
I just think I’m irritated with watching ads enough to pay to not need to. I also think I watch multiple YouTube videos nearly everyday, so I just consider it paying $0.05 to skip the ad automatically and still support the company and creators both.

The number within your circle has an absolute value of |2|, and |2| is a positive number! 😎
NewPipe exists.
Cope, mald and seethe, Youtube shill.
I don’t bother paying for it. I use it quite a lot and I prefer paying for a service with my hard earned money than with my privacy. Also, no ads.
