Useful idiot mentality. They’re charging you money to maximize profit, not because it’s necessary to provide the service.
You’re “fivers” are paying for their nicer campuses, executive bonuses, and lavish business trips/vacations.
I wish proles were smarter and a bit more mean so they could better recognize how they’re being taken advantage and how often they support their oppressors.
Yes, large scale video hosting is notoriously free to provide.
YouTube the service absolutely has a cost to it. It’s been born by the owners at first and then people who watch ads. It got profitable when they started showing more ads. Premium is a way to get out of watching ads. You and I use adblockers and it’s fine but if a significant share of people did, the cost for paying users would have to keep increasing.
thus the continued war on ads…
