Comment on Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium

🙄
A corporation can blatantly violate the law, bribe politicians, ignore its TOS whenever its suits them, but a second somebody wants to use a heavily subsidised service without being assaulted by advertising, suddenly a gaggle of concern trolls pop up to lecture about “stealing service”. Buddy, simping for Alphabet will get you nowhere.

If you are against them on a moral basis then use another service, I imagine that has a more negative impact on them. If you just want no ads, pay for it.
I hate ads as much as the next guy and use a variety of blockers but i’ll pay for any service with a reasonable payment method.

The price of food items has gone almost 50% up during last year, and I already pay for utilities and internet. I ain’t paying shiiiiiiiit.

Okay, so this actually has nothing to do with how YouTube "demonitizes content creators, while protecting doxxers and content thieves". It's actually just about you not wanting to pay for it.
Which is fine! But why lie to yourself about it?

Why not both? I can disdain YouTube for shitting on creators while refusing to pay for subpar service.

What other service will let me watch YouTube videos?
Anemia@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Specifically youtube-videos? None. For similar videos there are a bunch of services, at least to watch for entertainment purpose.
