I pay for the bandwidth though, and ads just waste it and cost me more time and money - we don't really save anything with a "lower cost" plan in the end. And stop pretending to be a daft that they are doing us some a favour - it's only pure greed driving these decisions. Note that that with online advertisement comes harvesting of our personal data too.
- iamthirsty 4y agoI've been barking about this for years, and is the reason I'm forced to pay for YouTube Premium as well. The amount of time alone ads cost me insane, and the bandwidth (at home or especially on mobile) usage involved means almost any form of video advertising is incredibly costly to me, and any free service costing one hour of minimum wage work per month saves me many, many hours (in literal cost hours and pure time) in the long run.
