I feel that Google was never upfront with me about their business model and their intentions from the beginning. The fact that I was realistically the product for a long time has just made me too jaded to give them money. They moved the goalposts too. It was free, then got ads and more ads and what's next? Will it just be like Amazon Prime where I now have ads even though I pay for a subscription? Occasionally I think about buying YT premium but then I just think about how scummy the company is how their attention grabbing model is just ruining my friends relationships with their kids (they're all addicted to YouTube, try blame the parents, but I don't think it's their fault) and I just can't bring myself to give them money at this stage. I'd go as far to say that I'd probably boycott the service altogether if I was forced between giving them money or watching a high volume of ads. I've already boycotted them for search, years of tracking and selling my info without any real opt out option or clear warnings about it, fuck them, I don't forget.
