I would actually pay for YT premium if it was reasonably priced and I think there are many like me. Why are they shooting themselves in the foot?
If you use yt music and watch YouTube as your main entertainment, it's well worth it imo.
With that said, I've been degoogling and this is probably the one I won't be able to break.
Same here. YT is the only Google owned service I still use. I personally don't mind the cost, since I watch a lot and wish to support the people that make the content. I would love a proper alternative but I don't see that happen any time soon.
Yeah, rumble seems like the only viable alternative and they got lambasted for hosting so much right wing conspiracy nuts when it first launched lol
it's not like the rightwing conspiracy nuts just showed up and Rumble got unfairly stuck with a bad reputation - Rumble is based in the same offices as Trump Media / Truth Social, conspiracy nuts are the whole intent from the start.
another alternative is Nebula.tv
Don't forget Peertube, which is a part of fedi
Oh boy, well yikes nvm lol
I actually paid for it for a bit after I got a few months free with a Pixel a while ago. And it was pretty good and reasonably priced.
Then they started removing features (no dislike bar for you lol) and raising the price and I'm never giving them a single goddamn cent or not using a block on their shit.
I've since cancelled and transitioned from workspace or whatever they call it now and use Revanced, ublock origin, etc. They actually had my money and they fucked it. Never again. Get fucked, Google and the shit huffing execs in charge of it.
It's never enough for these people. They want all of your money and they won't stop until they have it. Fucking blood suckers.
Because of the desire for infinite growth. The line must go up 💹
Why? Greed.
And they're not even shy about it.
I made this comment some time ago on another thread about YouTube ads.
With the sheer number of concurrent users, worldwide, 24/7, YouTube could show one ad every three or four videos, and still make a mind boggling amount of money.
But if some money is good, more must be better, right?
Same. They should have a lower tier where your first N hours of watch time have no ads. I don't watch a ton, so that would probably convince me to pay.
