I'm on it daily. A ton of hours between watching videos and enjoying the music catalogue. It's definitely the only reason I don't mind paying premium. No complaints.
My unpopular opinion is that YouTube has every right to enforce ads on their platform if you're not paying for the service.
The service where they crowd sourced 2/3 of their catalogue from "sharecare" pirate bears?
Infrastructure is not free.
Absolutely not our problem. They can come up with other business models. Maybe they can resurrect one of the hundreds of projects/business models from them at https://killedbygoogle.com/ and run with that
It's much cheaper than the money they make on it though. Hence all the profits.
Youtube operated at a loss for years
It hasn't operated at a loss anymore for years you mean?
You mean when they started playing ads?
oh, wait, i forgot about all the sharecare non-pirate bears that just upload good stuff for the careshare... you know, that other 3/12 of the catalogue...
I'm... at a loss. Can you rephrase these comments please?
My friend is confused too, care to explain to me so I explain to him?
Same here. My weekly usage is about 14h give or take 2h.
At least Youtube doesnt bother me anymore.
Same, but then trying to push shorts is annoying. I'm paying and m always dismissing the feature, take the fucking hint already
The few shorts I do watch are only from my subs. After I watched the short, I exit and don't enter the doom scroll.
But I agree that thwy are trying harder then when tgey were introduced.
