But what’s my time worth, not sitting through ads each month? If I make $12/hr, and I have to watch 120 30sec ads in a month of watching YouTube, I’ve broken even.
I think most of us make a bit more than 12/hr… so it quickly becomes worth it.
- Veserv 3y agoObviously, that is why I specifically framed it in terms of Youtube's revenue generation. Youtube provides a ad-supported option and a paid option, except they charge 10x the rate for the paid option. Yet for some reason, the argument is always that nobody likes paid options or "microtransaction" models when the obvious problem with almost every scheme that companies try is that they always try to markup by like 1000% at a minimum.
- aquafox 3y agoOnly if the time you save not watching ad, you actually work. What if you would just watch more videos in the same time or go to 9gag?
- peoplefromibiza 3y agoWhat if I am watching more videos that teach me something that ultimately make me earn more? ADS is money I'm leaving on the table.
- herbst 3y agoIMO That's the wrong question. The question is rather is the premium 'enough' to make it worth it to buy it or just stay with ad blocking as we did years before that option.
