Same model as all ways. Put all free, people completely upload their info and relying on it, monetize what people free uploaded. Same fucking model as all the companies and not just for media. Example ChatGPT. This should be illegal worldwide.
the thing is that i get why they need money for their infrastructure after blowing up so much. but what really rubs me the wrong way is: they have studied how to butcher people’s private data for 20 years. now they’re really really good at it. can i trust that they suddenly abandon this practice in exchange for my money or are they going to double-dip? a massive mega corp like would never… or?
That’s where I am at as well. I would be more than happy to pay for YouTube Premium as I recognize it is not an insignificant undertaking, and I even think some of the algorithmic suggestions are good (though an option to turn them off maybe?). If I am paying for the service though then I think I should then become the customer, not the product, and should have some guarantees to that effect.
I’d also like to have a more clear idea of how much the service really costs. If it costs a lot to run, then just price it appropriately. Knock it off with this boil the frog bull shit and raising the cost every year or two.

The free version of ChatGPT is still the same version as it was a year ago
