I just pay for premium. Worth every penny with the amount of YouTube we watch.

If you pay premium, then you have to be logged in and tracked and spied on and even more four data get sold. You pay them to sell your data!

Plus the first-party app is atrocious. The third party ones are way better.

Ya @cattywampas@lemm.ee let’s send them complaints on this
They gotta give us a way to watch adfree without spying on us

Thank you for giving Google money.
With your endearing support, Google is paying less attention to us so we can continue getting the same content for free.

No problem, I like supporting all the neat content creators I follow while others are happy to rip them off because they feel entitled to free content.
And don’t give me the “support them on patreon” line because a) I already do and b) ain’t no way the majority of you who pirate YouTube are donating money to everyone you follow.

“pirate YouTube” lmfao
bet you’re one of those people that pirate oxygen
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
I donate to the top percentile of those I follow, at least.
RedLetterMedia ain’t getting ad revenue. They curse too much and Mike is an alcoholic.
but to put it plainly, I’m morally bankrupt on victimless crime and I know they’re taken care of.
again, thank you.

You’re right, of course, however as consumers we’re put into the position of having to support an absolutely atrocious company AND creators, or not either. Given the option, I will choose the latter every time. When creators want to make their content available on other platforms, I do support them there.

Money paid to Google also goes to supporting Project Nimbus, which is why Google is on the BDS list.

I’m with you, paying is better than supporting the Ad business.
I just wish YouTube did not treat paying customers like criminals with the app based restrictions.

Why pay when there’s a free option?
SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The free option is not sustainable and does not reward the correct customer/business relationship.
