I mean it’s just $10. People are making livelihoods based off from YouTube. I get not liking ads, but if you have the option to go ad free for a low cost, why not do it? Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.?
- frizlab 7mo agoI refuse to give google any cent (and I also do not use youtube at all, so at least I’m consistent).

- tjpnz 7mo agoI would prefer to pay that money to creators directly than to pay it to an adtech firm and trust that they'll dole it out fairly.
- twobitshifter 7mo agoIsn’t it a hassle to pay everyone for each video you watch? Do you use the Super Thanks feature or do it some other way?
- duskdozer 7mo ago>if you have the option to go ad free for a low cost, why not do it? It requires the use of a google account and there is no way to even request opting out of the accompanying data harvesting. Any "curation" or "recommendation" that would inevitably happen is also an anti-feature. >Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.? No
- macNchz 7mo agoI find that all of Google’s ad products are under-moderated for malicious ads. It’s a choice on their part to not tightly control this—they certainly could, though it would harm their incredible profitability if they did more scrutiny on the ads they show. I personally don’t especially care to pay a premium not to see deepfakes of celebrities promoting crypto scams.
- johnnyanmac 7mo agoIt's a 15 now. And yes, thars the issue. I pretty much unsubscribed from Disney+, HBO, and Netflix becsuse I can't just have multiple 15 dollar subscriptions add up. As of now, YouTube, Rider, and Google One are my only subs. And I should really shuffle around space so I can unsub from One.
