For the service they offer (the hosting basically) I am actually willing to pay quite a bit. But what they typically ask for (about €15 for a single account) that’s just not worth it, given that YouTube isn’t the producer of the content they serve. Music might be a bit more complicated thanks to the fucking idiotic way how licensing around that works. Anyway: nothing of that excuses the excessive use of ads they serve nowadays.
Comment on YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world
Polar@lemmy.ca 7 months agoLove how Lemmy downvotes anyone who pays for anything. Such a great place for discussion! Definitely no echo chamber here.

Should we start legitimizing garbage?

If you consider YouTube as garbage, then it would be a no-brainer to just stop using it, instead of complaining about ads, right? And no, I couldn’t care less. I use YT maybe twice per year. It could go offline tomorros, as far as I am concerned.

Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.
