And you can just unsubscribe from it then instead of using a hypothetical to explain why you don't want to pay in any way for a (let's face it, extremely valuable and expensive) service?
- AndrewOMartin 3y agoIt's not that valuable to me, it's more of a comfort-food-content provider. If I had to spend money I'd rather spend it on live music or other things outside of the house and lean ever more on the BBC radio or TV (which I happily pay for), some relatively indie creators, or the archive.
- leereeves 3y agoPersonally I already subscribe to Nebula and Curiosity Stream, but I refuse to subscribe to YT for the above and other reasons. I expect that YT will continue to get worse as long as they hold a dominant position, and I don't intend to wait until they're as bad and expensive as cable before resisting. In fact, isn't the strategy YT is pursuing here (offer a service below cost to capture a market then raise costs after destroying the competition) illegal?
- red-iron-pine 3y agowhen has that ever been illegal?
