If adblock stopped working I would leave, which is interesting to me as I wonder what I'd do with my new time. Funny I make YT videos too trying to build an audience, I'd like to not put ads on it but not my choice I don't understand how people can just accept ads it drives me insane when some random shit starts playing I already lost money with YT, I bought so many UHD movies on their platform ($20 ea) and they won't stream it in HD unless you're on a supported device or ad-ridden tv edit: alright, aftrer seeing it's $13 I will get it, I have been converted

    You pay to make the content. You would have to "pay" to make the content no matter where you hosted it. You don't pay YouTube to host it. That's a silly argument. You seem to ignore that you would probably have no audience - or have a significantly smaller audience - were it not for YouTube hosting your content. They are providing you a service, but you seem to think that nobody - not you, not your viewers - should have to trade anything for that service, despite the hosting and streaming of video being one of the most expensive possible tech services in the world (bar perhaps running genAI models.) I dunno it's just very annoying how a lot of people have memed themselves into this train of thought where the big tech companies aren't actually providing them anything of value, when if they decided to suddenly stop providing their services they would be up a creek without a paddle.

  Well, no one pushes YouTube to give free services right? Come on, make us pay for it! See what happens.

    You can pay for Youtube and you won't get ads.
    - ge96 1y ago
      I thought you still got ads guess I'll find out I'll compromise, I'll get premium but still have my adblock
      - PurestGuava 1y ago
        There are no ads on Premium. Source: I have Premium and have adblock disabled on YouTube - no ads.
      - arccy 1y ago
        you don't get ads from Youtube. the people you watch may still say sponsored stuff.

    YouTube Premium has existed for years now... You're absolutely able to pay for an ad-free experience, and it provides more financial support to creators than ads do
