Comment on YouTube Premium's price is going up in yet another country
chitak166@lemmy.world 6 months agoYoutube’s entire platform is built around dominance. It’s the one-stop-shop for all “content creators.”
They won’t sacrifice that because it will make Youtube no longer synonymous with ‘online video.’

Firefox is like 3% of all internet browsing. Probably even less on YouTube. They can sacrifice a little bit.

I mean, that’s a terrible business decision when you have a monopoly.
I can easily see you getting fired for even suggesting this. It just shows how out of touch you are with modern economics.

This is Google’s strategy. Haven’t you followed the manifest V3 debacle? They want to end ad blocking once and for all. Their entire business model is to sell ads. They want to turn that ad blocking crooks into sweet new ad revenue. Maybe even subscription revenue.

Yes, but google won’t sacrifice its monopoly to show people more ads. Hence why they, you know, haven’t done it yet.
