I get that it started for free with less intrusive ads, but YouTube has had a huge impact on the way we all share and consume information. Understanding how much money it takes to run a service with the technology needed to provide high definition videos on a site that is up 99.9999999% of the time, I have no issue paying for a service that has changed my life in many positive ways. Now I do hate price gouging like everyone else, but it’s inescapable from gas & groceries to all streaming platforms.

    Which department do you work for?

    Google is fucking evil and has had a big hand in making society worse over the last 15 years. They will never get another penny from me.

      I don’t work for Google, but I have been in IT Support for almost 20 years.

      Careful, you don’t want to fall and hurt yourself from up there on your pedestal
