- immibis 1y agoThat's what premium does. Now that premium exists and is a solution to this problem, the one we specifically wanted, we still complain about the problem instead.
- mrguyorama 1y agoNonsense. Premium does not stop Youtube from insisting that the people I have been watching and following for 20 years can't say "Fuck". Premium does not stop Youtube from capriciously de"monetizing" a compilation video made up explicitly of videos uploaded to the platform that are all monetized for two years in a row despite explicit support from a youtube account manager that it wouldn't happen again. Premium does not stop youtube from shoving shorts in my face, and giving me no option but "Show less". Premium does not stop youtube putting puritan morals into their terms of service. Premium does not stop youtube from blocking your videos if they contain genuine war footage of historical interest and importance and that you could easily see on daytime news channels. Paying youtube only rewards them for all this bullshit, and also they will turn around and use that money, not to become a great platform for mid-level groups and teams doing good work and making meaningful science or history contributions, but to mint more Logan and Jake Pauls, to support more Lunchly's, to benefit more assholes. Because that's more profitable even if people pay money directly instead of through advertising.
- barbazoo 1y ago> Paying youtube only rewards them for all this bullshit Paying for YT premium removes ads, that's the exchange here. If one doesn't agree with the content the platform provides, one has to find another platform, there are lots out there. They all have different rules.
