My favorite is YouTube Red, the paid version.
I also don't like ads. And I understand everyone needs to eat. I value some content on YouTube and I respect their right to receive revenue for their good work. I think changing me money straightforward is the most respectful and honest way for everyone.
- davoneus 3y agoAbsolutely, and I agree. I am a YouTube premium subscriber, and while nothing is perfect, YT does a fairly good job. Heck, they actually publish how much they pay their creators (45% - 55% of ad revenue). Sure, it could be more, it could be less. At least it's light years ahead of what TikTok even pretends to do.
- jcul 3y agoI don't use YouTube enough to justify a subscription. I paid for one briefly when my kids used to watch songs on it early in the morning (on our shared TV, not a personal device), so I didn't have to skips ads in a sleep deprived state. While I find the ads a little long and too frequent, I don't mind too much. The reason is that I think YouTube is such a great facility, up there with Wikipedia and Google maps. The about of virtually boundless information. Guides, Conference talks, old kids shows from my childhood, tutorials on how to fix cars, maintain bikes etc. It's one of the few things online where I feel a paid subscription or ads are justified. So much of this would be lost to time otherwise.
