how is it like that at all?
YouTube says: hey guys, it costs a bunch of money to host exabytes of video and a video CDN, so we either need to show ads or charge you the price of two pints a month.
what secret third option would you like them to offer?
- Darmody 3y agoIt's like that because if I had pay to watch Youtube I wouldn't. I'd watch what I want on other platforms even if I had to pay. Google is already making a lot of money from me and it doesn't stop there. They spy on me. They process every bit of data they can find of me even if I don't want to and I don't see a cent.
