- EA-3167 3y agoIs Youtube social media? I mean it has a comment section, but to me it's always been a content delivery service for videos, first and foremost.
- filleduchaos 3y agoThere are also far fewer creators/posters and far more value per post, especially when you consider that YouTube carries a lot of commercial content (music & music videos) Would I pay for ad-free access to a giant catalogue of music (even though I can use an ad blocker) or to support talented people putting hours into composing and editing content I like? Sure, why not. Would I pay to see people's random short-form thoughts? Hell no.
- EA-3167 3y agoYou said it, paying for YT is a no-brainer for me, because it's how I discover new music, listen to jazz and classical concerts, and follow a few big names I enjoy. There's nothing like that on Twitter, FB, Reddit, etc.
