Youtube has every right not to serve me the video.
It does not have the right to interfere with what I do with it after the data reaches my machine, though.
Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker

YouTube reserved the right to make your experience shitty. Deal with it if baby is too cheap to use the service when ads.
You all have a massive entitlement complex. YT owes you nothing.

Sure, up until it so shitty that people don’t use it anymore, then what ?
I don’t see the point of paying for a service for having the privilege to be the product of the service.
You all have a massive entitlement complex. YT owes you nothing.
Nope, it is a fight back complex. YT try to fuck me up, I try to fuck them up.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
So a fantasy story shit how yt loses all of its customer. Especially the posting ones who don’t deal with ads 👌👍.
Fight back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are bitching about slow down on a forum with a 1000 active users. You aren’t even a blip. Normal people will just pay because the service is valuable.
You are massively entitled. If you think it’s so shitty stop using it. You can’t. And yet you’ll bitch about $12 a month.

Considering data harvesting, they can either pay me for my private data, or I’ll watch YouTube for free without ads.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And they’ll degrade the experience. See how that works?
You free load, you get a worse experience.

Do you consider your online data to be worthless? Because google doesn’t. You pay the moment you click on a video, and even more by making an account and generating watch history.
Why does that data collection not go away if i decide to pay with cash?
Why did they remove the cheaper ad-free only subscription tier?
Why do they still serve various ads when you are a premium subscriber?
The answer to all of this is that they are a greedy corporation, they must do those things. You may call it soothsaying or whatever to those of us wondering “what comes next” after this battle. But it is shown many times by all large corporations that they will keep fighting to make line go up for eternity. Regardless of if that is in your best interest. It is silly to see users defend them despite that.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Or maybe the data is more valuable than $12/mo and it’s subsidized by the data.
eskimofry@lemmy.world 10 months ago
So you admit that corporations can do whatever they want to make money, but fuck customers who hate being treated like shit. You’re a hypocrite.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Not at all. Google has been fantastic to me for 8 or 9 years now. I’ve had issues but they’ve mostly resolved my issues every time. There is a reason they are so popular.
AVengefulAxolotl@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I would gladly pay for it. BUT
- it is owned by google
- monopoly (i am waiting when will they announce a new tier of subscription with limited ads, and increase the price of the current model)
- i wouldnt pay for extra features, i would only pay for not making my experience worse, and this is probably the biggest reason for me.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Classic. I’m not going to buy it because they might change the model later.
This entire thread is entitlement. Stop using it if it’s so bad.
AVengefulAxolotl@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It is not ‘might’. We know they will do something like that.
Before AI went viral, how much did Giogle search improve, Youtube at all? Not at all really, but they cranked up the adverts. So now i am paying for Kagi search, I also sponsor open source projects so dont tell me that I am entitled. Youtube is the last Google product that cannot be replaced as of right now.
At the end of the day all i want is to be a customer, not a product.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I see we have a soothsayer in the comment section!
gian@lemmy.grys.it 10 months ago
I would pay (as I pay for other services) if only I wasn’t the product.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Why the fuck would I pay for YouTube when I could just steal it?
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Because you’re poor and rather fuck around with your time vs having a service that works great for a small fee?
eskimofry@lemmy.world 10 months ago
stop polishing google’s sword. I hope they are paying you for this.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m sorry you don’t like reality 🤷♂️
eskimofry@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Don’t be daft. Youtube gets to steal user data which is more valuable.
Things were better without blood sucking greed of the world.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Have a modicum of restraint and stop using the device then. 🤷♂️
Y’all have massive entitlement complexes.
eskimofry@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I am certain i am no more entitled than the already-billionaires salivating at the ad infested internet.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You are incorrect.
