If YT fully locks down to pay or watch ads, I’ll gladly forage my media from the free and open spaces that still want to foster growth like odysee. I might not find a much, but I’ll take natural high quality material over the fast food that is YouTube.
I hunt and forage for actual sustenance since the pandemic put food prices beyond what they’re worth.
Neither do you want to do honest business. The amount of business owners bitching about not getting customers is similar to the amount of business owners who treat their customers like their mortal enemies.
Either be honest that you* are greedy and admit that stealing user data + ad revenue is juicy, or shut the fuck up and stick to your guns and completely paywall youtube.
*by you I mean the people who justify bullshit like ads and data theft by corporations.
I’m asking why you spend your time demanding people pay for things they don’t value much. In reply, you demand I pay for things I don’t value much. I still wonder why you want to spend your time doing that.
Ok if you wanna get paid, then i dare you to close it all off and make it 100% paid. Otherwise admit that you’re a hypocrite who thinks there’s no free stuff except user data theft.
Ads are psychological abuse. I refuse to subject myself to that.
Excuse me but I’m entitled to a sliver of your spongy grey matter because I spent money. /s
There’s always another way - just pay for online services like you do for physical ones. Nothing is free in this world. Except for foraging.

I’ll pay for the ones I think are worth the asking price.
Everyone says that, but no one actually does.
But I do?
Good for you.
So you’re wrong.
You’re like what, 0.01% of the audience? Have you ever tried to do any business? People don’t want to pay shit for anything.
Are you trying to sell something that people don’t value enough to pay for? Is that why you’re downvoting and arguing with me?

If nobody does then I think your service sucks.
This is like the tipping debate all over.

People are using ads for at least a century. If you don’t like free stuff - pay money.
Dude what’s your motivation? Why are you spending your weekend trying to get people to give money to Google when they don’t want to and don’t have to?
My motivation is simple - nothing is free in this world. Either pay up or don’t use the service. No one is forcing you to use it.
Then fuck off with collecting user data you freeloading company. You’re not entitled to people’s attention on your shitty ads.
Don’t watch YouTube, problem solved!
Do you think that answers my question?
It’s a direct answer to a direct question. What else do you want? Learn to read maybe…

Ok then corporates have to pay me money for collecting user data.
And they do, by providing you a service you’re using, which is not free.
Not really. They don’t make the content. They are just middlemen.
And?
Ok if you wanna get paid, then i dare you to close it all off and make it 100% paid. Otherwise admit that you’re a hypocrite who thinks there’s no free stuff except user data theft.
Ha, as if. Try, “ditch youtube.”
These motherfuckers are putting ads in stuff that you’ve paid for, what rock have you been living under?
None of the stuff I paid for has ads. What rock are you living under?
Maybe you suck at recognising ads
