It’s less about not liking ads and more that the ads are plagued with scams, spam and whatever else.
Don’t we think that they should be held accountable for the type of ads they run on there? Crypto scams, get rich quick, and mlms to name a few.
The same goes for the MSN homepage it’s fucking ridiculous.
Also, if they want to serve me ads, then stop selling my data too. If I sign up for premium they’ll still sell your data anyway.
I am not really in a place where I would want to defend billion dollar companies.
What's do you think selling the data is for? It's largely to better target ads. It makes sense to complain that premium sells your data, but that they sell your data and show you ads is pretty much the point of selling your data.
I believe I said if I paid for premium they would still be selling my data. Premium doesn’t come with ads ergo they don’t need to personalise ads they’re not going to serve me.
Edit: I just reread my OC and concede I worded it poorly.
The discussions I'm seeing are not about the contents of the ads but simply because they can't bypass them anymore.
You say as you reply to a comment explicitly discussing the content of the ads.
So you raise an argument, I respond by telling you it's not the main argument I'm seeing itt, and your response is to point back at your singular comment?
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you 100%, but most people here are just mad they can't get YT for free as easily anymore.
