I am honest: I don't want to see ADs nor be tracked, and removing ads is not worth paying 10$ a month to me, especially as I will still be tracked. I haven't signed any contract with youtube, nor with its content uploaders. If Youtube or the people uploading content to it wants to force me to pay to view it, they have a simple solution: make it subscription only. The fact is they do not, so I still retain my rights to use my own client, configured the way I want to and view it with my rules the same way I had the right to switch channel, go for a pee, walk, drinks during adverts when I was still using a television.
Besides YouTube content is not comprised only of artists.
- acdha 3y agoIf you have a principled objection to being tracked, don’t use YouTube. They do that either way so all you’re really arguing is that you want to use someone else’s work without paying them. That’s a position but don’t expect much respect for it.
- prmoustache 3y ago> That’s a position but don’t expect much respect for it. The same way they shouldn't expect much respect from ad viewing.
