How dare YouTube enforce their own policies on their own website?
I would love if everything was free, too.
And I’m not a Google lover. Ditched Chrome on all my devices a couple weeks ago.
I just think seeing everyone scream and cry about the movie theater hiring security guards cuz kids sneaking in the back are flooding the seats is pretty funny. Everyone wants their cake and to eat it, too. Both Google and their users.
Services are funded by advertisers. Advertisers are funded by their customers, the general public, after charging more for their products to fund advertisement. This is a symptom of the commodification of the collective consciousness. Absolutely disgusting.
I don’t think Google will miss my skipping their ads, look at their bottom line. It’s ridiculous how many ads there are now and I’m not paying 12 bucks a month to watch a guy show me how to fix shit in my house.
You don’t have a moral responsibility to pay someone who is selling your time and attention on top of someone else’s work. “The servers aren’t free!” Ok. Landlords are entitled to zero profit. The sooner we get there, the better. That’s the main thing Adam Smith and Marx agree on: rentiers are useless.
You’ll get downvoted to oblivion for common sense logic because people’s biases are far stronger but who gives a shit about virtual popularity.
I agree with you, it’s their service, it’s their terms.
Fuck off if you don’t agree. I can see more and more that the Lemmy community loves their own echo chamber and hates anything that goes against it.

I think a lot of people feel that youtube is getting to eat all of the cake and is only offering crackers in return.
I think people accept that services need to advertise to survive, but become upset when that level of advertisemeant becomes excessive.

The actual guy generating the content by the way, not to be confused with the middleman platform that just serves it up to you.
