I wouldn’t mind paying, if they didn’t took away my right to privacy and stopped scraping all of my devices like freaking malware. Even if you don’t use any of their services.
As long as they do that, I feel no remorse not paying for their content.

I can’t help but laugh with this post in this sub.
Paying for media content is somehow dystopian 🤣

At the same time they are enforcing the ban on adblocks they are creating solutions for sponsor blocks to skip the ads that actually bring some money to youtube creators.
Funny how the paying for media content works, you can pay youtube but not the creator of that content, the creator himself gets next to nothing if the youtube algorithm doesn’t favour the content. Not a boring dystopia at all.

You’re minimizing the abuse. Used to be fine with ads when it was 1-2 max but then it got abusive and greedy. Someone who yells at you once or twice may just be angry, upset, or so on. Someone who yells at you constantly is abusive

I can’t honestly believe you just equated more ads on TV to abuse.
Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Gaslighting is another way people justify abuse

I don’t think that term means what you think it means.

Google cornered the video market and killed all competition by mining all of our data and selling it for years.
Now that they are too big to fail they want to turn around and extort us all. The price for premium is NOT reasonable.
This isn’t some mom and pop company trying to serve videos. They abused their size and are now abusing it again.
And the fact that there’s people like you defending them is a problem. We have to fight the mega corp and the bootlickers in our ranks.

Wait, how did they kill all competition by mining our data? Because they could do things cheaper than compwtitors, or…?

The literarily made money off our backs by selling our privacy. Using those I’ll-gotten gians they pushed out the competition.
They didn’t do things “cheaper” they just stole from all of us and now they want more money on top.

You seem like you’re getting distracted here. I’m asking about the claim about them killing off competition by stealing our data. Can you go into more detail on how that worked, how the stealing of our data killed off the competition?
