I have YouTube premium it's great. I don't understand why everyone is so mad.
Are you reaching for a username joke here or
Because fuck ads and fuck multi billion dollar companies and their enshittification of the internet.
Enjoy paying the rest of your life (or until you're done with YouTube) a subscription to remove ads. It's basically cable Tv for you, until they start adding ads to you anyway. The profit must grow, a company must grow, they will show you ads again.
You gave them your finger, they'll be coming for your arms.
Will do. I pay monthly for services I use a lot less than I use YouTube, I get to easily support creators I watch and I get YouTube Music on top of it.
If they change the deal then I'm free to change my mind, it's not like I'm forced to stay subbed if they add back ads, but as far as today goes I'm not gonna get all twisted up over a hypothetical.
That's really melodramatic. Pretty sure my soul will remain intact, but I guess I'll take the risk anyway hahaha
Not everyone wants to pay for features that should be free anyway
Why should they be free though? Outside a capitalist economy sure, but the way things are people need to make money. Premium gives a much larger cut to the channels you watch than regular ad watching anyway.
Because many of the people on this site are cheap fucks to think Linux is the best os and everything should open source and free. The modern internet is so bad while still taking part in it.
But at the end of the day, I watch YouTube in peace without having to find ridiculous work arounds on all of my devices. So we’re happy and they’re the ones upset
Because I don't really care about anything YouTube Premium has to off except for ads and I'm not paying nearly $15 a month for just no ads.
Yeah I am really confused why people are mad. Sure it sucks that something was free with no ads now has ads/isn't free. But was it not obvious that YouTube is unsustainable without adding some kind of income, ads or subscription charges? This day was always coming. I am actually kind of surprised how long it took for YouTube to start combating ads blocks.
YouTube for all its faults, is an incredible service. I know of no alternative service like it. It costs money to run YouTube why should they provide it for free?
