advertising poisons the mind and it is unconscionable to believe only the rich should have the privilege of unadulterated thought, do not pay for YouTube premium, do not accept this as fair or just
- EduardoBautista 3y agoSo Google and the video creators should, not just provide the content for free, pay hundreds of millions of dollars for the privilege of having you as a viewer?
- calmworm 3y agoYou’ve described what YouTube used to be like.
- amadeuspagel 3y agoYes, losing billions per year, and containing mostly pirated content and cat videos.
- lnxg33k1 3y agoPoor google I hope they have enough to eat this Christmas:(
- HipOpotamus1489 3y agoI have to choose between an OnlyFans subscription and a YouTube subscription.
- gruez 3y agoYou might not have any interest in google "[having] enough to eat this Christmas", but you do have an interest in some sort of a free video platform existing.
- tetris11 3y agoBelieve it or not, people used to put quality content online for free, for the betterment of all people (not just the paying ones), and still do their day jobs.
- namlem 3y agoI sub on patreon to creators I watch a lot, or directly on YouTube for ones who have that enabled. You can become a channel member and pay directly without Premium. Tbh I would buy Premium if it wasn't bundled with YouTube Music for an inflated price.
- Crash0v3rid3 3y ago> I sub on patreon to creators watch a lot, or directly on YouTube for ones who have that enabled. Content creators deserve to be paid, even if you don't watch them often.
- namlem 3y agoThey they should get sponsorships. I'm not going to subject myself to YouTube ads, nor will I ever feel any amount of guilt over it.
- dangus 3y agoThis view depends on accepting the idea that advertising of all forms really does poison the mind and is a universal evil. But that idea in itself is, in my opinion, an extremist one. The act of informing someone else about something is baked into the social nature of our species. Without it there is no specialization, we are all creatures living alone as nomads focused on subsistence and survival. All you to do is watch monkeys teach each other how to use tools. That was basically an advertisement, a transfer of knowledge about a “product.” Then you have to consider ads that save lives and help society like public service ads for seatbelts, anti-littering, child seats, etc. Also, rich people see ads. They’re just different ads. Go to a yacht show in Monaco and you’ll see ads.
