Makes one wish we'd get closer to 100% adblock coverage...
- lwansbrough 9y agoWho do you think pays for the content you consume?
- mrep 9y agoBusinesses will find a way just like how cryptocurrencies will find a way to scale /s
- joosters 9y agoSo what? Do you feel obliged in any way to watch the ads on tv? And yet they pay for the programmes...
- michaelt 9y agoMyself, obviously. Sometimes it's Patreon or Netflix between me and the content creator Other times they show me a video that attempts to influence me to go to the store, pick up a different brand of detergent, then the store gives money to the multinational behind the brand, then the multinational gives the money to an ad agency, then the ad agency give the money to Youtube, then Youtube gives the money to the content creator. Except I buy store-brand detergent, so this pipeline leaks a lot.
- madshiva 9y agoYeah, like an Ads will change you the way you consume. Totally wrong. Totally so old way of thinking.
- r0fl 9y agoAdvertisers do. If the economics stop making sense then the content stops being created. As a consumer it’s not my concern as to how money is made. That’s the creators job.
- lwansbrough 9y agoThe end result is either you're paying for the content or someone else is. And if someone else is, it'll be on their terms and not yours.
- nukeop 9y agoUnless I'm using a content blocker and can watch the "content" without accepting intrusive ads and profiling, then it's on my terms.
- nukeop 9y agoI can live without the "content". If the "content" is made by somebody who thinks creating "content" on the internet is a viable substitute for a day job and advertisements are an acceptable way of making money, then I would prefer they rather create no "content" at all.
