      The entitlement of you all is crazy.

          Lololol you are directly stealing from creators. There isn’t even some thin connection. They get paid on ad views and subscriptions. You are straight up taking money from creatives.

            I’m under no obligation to watch advertisements. They can try to advertise to me if they want, I can avoid it however I want. Did you ever grow up with linear TV? Did you just eventually piss yourself because it would have been unfair to the commercial broadcast company to not pay attention to the ads? You mook.

            Imagine thinking content uploaded to a proprietary platform is still yours

            Content creators don’t make as much from ads as you think. Apparently selling merch and sponsorships is where most comes from.

              Who would buy stuff from a person they never heard of? How did they get popular?

                Might not be brand new companies. It might be an existing company with a new product.

        With the amount of telemetry and trackable data they’ve collected and potentially sold, and the quality of both the service and the content being in a constant decline, I consider my malware-free access to the service to be paid for life.

        Shit, considering the way they handled recent controversies, I see it as a moral obligation to hit them in the wallet.

        They still show ads even when paying. So your argument is moot from the start.

        I remember ages ago when you could just have youtube background play on android. Then they removed it. And now you have to pay for it.

        I’m not giving them my money, especially when you consider how much data they harvest from you to sell it on.

        I pay for spotify, whilst they do use trackers and sell your data. I get a metric ton more use out of it. Youtube to me, is just background noise.
