I hope wherever you work you don't push privacy invasive technology onto customers who don't know it is there.
Please provide an alternative to YouTube for viewing trailers, news, game reviews, etc. It is basically non existent. Nearly every site uses YouTube for hosting their videos now.
You are continuing to ignore the key issue here. I personally don't have an issue with ads in theory. But ads have simply become one of many avenues that companies like Google use to track users. I will not support that.
I also have zero concerns for google financially.
- endisneigh 5y agoYou ever think that they’re using YouTube for a reason? What I’m saying doesn’t apply to them specifically anyway. And as for alternatives you can use Vimeo and PeerTube. If you don’t see the content you want there think about why that is.
- nerdjon 5y agoI know why that is, Google abusing their dominate position in search to sway the entire market to a single service.
- endisneigh 5y agoI disagree. Get your government to break them up. Also, my logic applies to any company really. So I’m having a hard time reconciling your position with a smaller company that tracks and uses ads. Basically you feel it’s ok to not compensate content creators because they’re using big techs platform. Weird
- hedora 5y agoWhy would I choose to compensate anyone (even a content creator) after they non-consensually violated my privacy? If they want me to compensate them, then they should bother to put a second copy of their content up on a platform that supports payments, and is not morally reprehensible.
- endisneigh 5y agolol why don't you just not consume their content, aka steal - instead of rationalizing your theft? then your privacy will not be violated, of course you won't get the content, either.
