It is not ‘might’. We know they will do something like that.
Before AI went viral, how much did Giogle search improve, Youtube at all? Not at all really, but they cranked up the adverts. So now i am paying for Kagi search, I also sponsor open source projects so dont tell me that I am entitled. Youtube is the last Google product that cannot be replaced as of right now.
At the end of the day all i want is to be a customer, not a product.
4 ads in a 15-20 minute video is as degraded as things get, I’d rather stare at the wall for 5 mins.
Contrary to popular modern corporate culture, I’m not a commodity who’s sole purpose is to provide continued growth quarter over quarter to appease shareholders. Meanwhile the price of YouTube premium has actually increased on top of increased cost of living expenses.
So fuck Google, they can actually pay me for my personal browsing information, or I’ll continue to use adblockers. Hell, yt-dlp isn’t out of the question at this point in time.
I do pay. They use my private browsing data for free, in return I watch YouTube with no ads because I use an adblocker. I have nothing in place preventing Google from tracking my internet usage, they can even track where I travel - So they’re free to use my data while I can watch YouTube for free without four ads in a 15 minute video.
As stated, I am not some commodity that exists solely as a means for large publically traded corporations bigger than most Governments to make a killing in relation to profits because of the modern mindset that growth must be sustained quarter over quarter in order to appease shareholders.
In Sept 2023 Alphabet turned a $76.69bn profit, up 11% from the same time last year. You see how that works, right. <–Notice no question mark, that’s a statement.

Youtube has every right not to serve me the video.
It does not have the right to interfere with what I do with it after the data reaches my machine, though.

Considering data harvesting, they can either pay me for my private data, or I’ll watch YouTube for free without ads.

Don’t be daft. Youtube gets to steal user data which is more valuable.
Things were better without blood sucking greed of the world.
