Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker
grue@lemmy.world 11 months agoYoutube 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.

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.
Nope, it is a fight back complex. YT try to fuck me up, I try to fuck them up.

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.

Fine, you think is a shit show story. I suppose only time will tell.
Nope, paying customers still see ads put by creator, as per YT explanation. They don’t interrupt the video but if a creator add them to the video, the paying customer still see them.
It is only a question about how much time will pass before even the paying customer start to think that he is seeing too many ads while even paying the service and have his data harvested.
This assuming that YT would will never put ads also on the premium service, which I would not be that sure in these times…
Oh well, the fact that YT it trying to fight back AdBlocker seems to refute that. If the people using adblockers are really that few, why even bother ?
If you say so…
And why I can’t stop using YT ? Let’s say that an AdBlocker is way more convenient to have then the possibility to use YT.
It is not the 12$ a month. I pay some service more because they are worth more money and I am the customer, not the product.
I simply am not that happy to pay to be the product.

Considering data harvesting, they can either pay me for my private data, or I’ll watch YouTube for free without ads.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
And they’ll degrade the experience. See how that works?
You free load, you get a worse experience.
Bulletdust@lemmy.world 11 months ago
4 ads in a 15-20 minute video is as degraded as things get, I’d rather stare at the wall for 5 mins.
Contrary to popular modern corporate culture, I’m not a commodity who’s sole purpose is to provide continued growth quarter over quarter to appease shareholders. Meanwhile the price of YouTube premium has actually increased on top of increased cost of living expenses.
So fuck Google, they can actually pay me for my personal browsing information, or I’ll continue to use adblockers. Hell, yt-dlp isn’t out of the question at this point in time.
