  >Or you know, paying a few bucks for the music via Premium subscription. Or you know, not lecturing people off your high horse on giving their hard earned cash to your corporate overlords on top of their private data, and instead, letting them use the internet as they please. A few bucks here and a few bucks there adds up significantly for those not on Bay Area wages and getting hit by rampant inflation and energy prices. You can donate to the creators Patreon, PayPal or Crypto wallets, if you wish to support them. If YouTube were a boot-strapped start-up in a garage, I would totally agree with your point, but instead Google-YouTube is a multi trillion dollar monopoly and I'm already giving them my private data they monetize, which is more than enough, there's no way I'm giving them my hard earned cash on top of my private data, while they engage in anti consumer behavior by removing the dislike button and using other dark patterns to squeeze view time out of small creators and "maximize engagement" out of their user base.

    That's some serious mental gymnastic you have going there just to avoid paying musicians a few bucks to listen to their music. Don't worry, pirates have gone through these mental gymnastics to feel better about their entitlement since the time Napster appeared. Still doesn't change the fact that the author of that post refuses to pay a shitty 12 bucks per months to get access to all the music he wants and pay both the infrastructure provider and the musician performing the tracks. They could easily pay for Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, iTunes or any of the other services if "YouTube is such an evil monster monopoly". But it's not about that is it? I wonder if you're so lenient when someone refuses to pay for your own companys services and just wants them for free.

      That's some serious mental gymnastics there, too. I refuse to pay for YT premium because of the abusive relationship Alphabet/Google/YouTube has with my family, my devices, and me. Bless the musicians, every one.

      12 bucks is about two or three days of work where I live. I will do everything that is in my hands that won't get me arrested to save money and improve my quality of life. Google does the same, so why shouldn't I?

      Look up how much YouTube and Spotify pay musicians. I'm not sure how little the others pay in comparison but I assume their cut is the industry standard. Paying £12 a month doesn't bring back dislikes, doesn't remove sponsored segments and doesn't improve the comment section that is ripe with bots. >I wonder if you're so lenient when someone refuses to pay for your own companys services and just wants them for free. I wouldn't make my own companies DRM so easily breakable, are Google too poor or something?

  No, obviously YouTube should be a free service with no ads and no subscription. The content is someone else's anyways.

  youtube should be regulated as the monopoly it is.

  YouTube premium isn't available in all countries yet, although it's in way more countries than it was s few years ago

  I pay for youtube premium and still use Vanced for all of it's advanced features, but background playback is useful for far more than music.

  It's not "a few bucks", it's like $12 a month, more than most streaming services, for the privilege of having it not pause the video when you lock the phone. Which it shouldn't be doing in the first place. Also this yet one more thing on top of the subscriptions you already have. Can't subscribe to all of them.
  - formerkrogeremp 5y ago
    I'm not sure it's worth the $20 per month for a family plan of up to five either.
    - sofixa 5y ago
      $4/person for music streaming, and all the video on the internet, without ads? What is a fair price for you?
      - adalu 5y ago
        zero because they didn't do the creation work in the first place and they don't share their revenue with the creators. So how about that?
        ripdog 5y ago
        The hosting of an unlimited number of videos of (almost) unlimited length at up to 8k resolution for an indefinite length of time is worth nothing to you? I'm incredibly grateful that there is such a vast video archive on the internet with such liberal terms for video uploading and playback. And Google does revenue share with creaters. Heard of the YouTube partner program? Partners receive money per view from people who watch ads or have premium, and premium views are worth more.

        They share revenues with creators, and enable them to have a massive reach by hosting unlimited amount of video for free.
