Why are you paying your abuser
Comment on Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users

As a premium subscriber, it’s definitely gotten worse for me over the last month. Whatever they’re doing on the back end, it’s pretty terrible.

Honestly: I’d rather pay for YT and pirate Netflix.
The amount of Entertainment I get from YT exceeds the scale of Netflix and I use it daily at 2-3h per day.And while yes, it’s free, I can also support the creators with a better click price than a regular click.
Is it a better solution then the respective patreon/whatever? Nope
Do I want to pay 5€/month or video each time? Fuck no. I am not king Midas.wishthane@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yup, that’s how I see it too. I don’t like seeing ads, the creators do at least get more money, and the actual value I get out of YouTube is pretty high

Not to mention not every creator will have a patreon anyway so this covers that scenario as well.

Stockholm syndrome was made up to cover for police incompetence

Thats the first I’ve heard of that. Got a link? this sounds like a rabbit hole I’d like to go down.

There’s a ton of educational content only on YT and so it’s a part of our homeschool curriculum. My kids were getting a lot of super inappropriate ads a while back, so I got premium to avoid all ads.

What homeschool curriculum provider are you using?

Acton and we participate in a state program and several private programs depending on the kids’ interest.

I’m not sure what the hell is going on at YouTube but I’ve noticed a significant drop in decent videos being recommended, and a huge uptick in videos I’ve already seen showing up at the front of the feed. Probs gonna drop it when the price picks up and just go to nebula.
