Comment on Politically-engaged Redditors tend to be more toxic -- even in non-political subreddits
franklin@lemmy.world 9 months agoSorry guess I should have been more clear. But the other two are also opinions. Opinions don’t have to be correct and they most certainly aren’t factual.

Two of my 3 examples are not opinions lol. Ads do keep YouTube free. Piracy is theft. Those are facts. You can justify your blocking or ads or piracy however you want but that is not an argument against these facts.
But we’re getting into the weeds since the point is the insanity with which people respond, so frequently, and not the disagreement itself.

LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER: youtube reports it annually earns ~14.07 B from ad revenue and over 20B from subscriptions across youtube and youtube music. You are guessing and passing it off as “fact, not opinion”. Ads make youtube almost half as much as the ungodly amount of money they make, and google as a whole could support youtube without ads just fine, they would just make less money (Google’s throughput is extremely negative, most of their money is not put back into the company).
Your perspective sucks and your opinions are based on misinformation and guesswork.

Imagine using as your argument “no only half of their money comes from ads,” lol
