Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium"
1984@lemmy.today 23 hours agoLucky to get anything? YouTube couldnt even have grown at all if it was a paid product from the start. People made it into the success it is, by using it.
Now when its a monopoly, they do a bait and switch.

So because they started off offering something for free they owe us?

Yeah. They owe us, they owe their content creators, they owe the tax payers who built and power the platform for them to be getting rich on.

Some artists making content are practically their own little PBS stations or something, I’m with ya!
Would it be more palatable if they told us using adblock w/o premium was “robbing creators of one-hundredth of a cent each time” or something? If I’m not mistaken there is a connection between content creator payouts and that.
