Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads''

So many people in this comment section are pissed that YouTube isn’t both free and ad-free. It’s mind blowing.

Yes, YouTube is a business and exists to generate revenue.

i’d get it if people were complaining about ads being added to paid subscriptions. i cancelled my prime subscription for exactly that reason.

But people whinging about having to watch ads on a service they’re not paying for has always struck me as weird

  Yeah, completely agree. But this is also Lemmy. The majority of users are either a communist or almost a communist. They want everything to be free or paid for by someone else.

    I was 97% communist at the last measurement. I think I will get the final 3% any day now, God willing.
