If your site wants to block me, that's fine, you have that right. What I object to is the notion that I should feel any sort of moral guilt for viewing a website however I choose to. Your site is a newspaper that is delivered to my house; you have the right to charge for it, and you have the right to put ads in it, but once it is in my hands it is mine, and I will cut it up with scissors or scribble mustaches on all the photographs to my heart's delight.
- hmry 3y agoIf you cut the ads out of the newspaper, the publisher still gets paid. If you block ads on YouTube, they don't (but still need to pay for the bandwidth to deliver you the video).
- the_snooze 3y agoThat's a problem with YouTube's business model then. If a business wants to make money, then charge for it, just as businesses have done for thousands of years. Don't tiptoe around the issue and hide prices by presenting it as "free" and get mad when people take that literally. YouTube can very well be Premium-only and they'll see how much their service is actually worth to people.
