Not gonna defend YouTube here, they should not have done this. HOWEVER I do care about creators on YouTube and so I actually purchased YouTube premium. It’s actually a pretty sweet deal when I consider how often I actually watch YouTube, and the fact that I actually can get a lot of use out of YouTube Music, personally. I’m not gonna say it’s a good deal for everybody, but if you actually watch any YouTube content creators regularly that you don’t contribute to via other means, it’s worth considering to avoid ads while making sure they can still get paid.
Alphabet (Google and Youtube's parent company) reported $282,836,000,000 in revenue with a gross profit of $156,633,000,000 in the 2022 fiscal year. I'm pretty sure they can afford to pay their creators what's owed without also resorting to being shit.
The creators get a share of the ad revenue from their videos. If you block ads, you're directly causing them to lose income.
Which is kinda a dick move.
You're shaming people for not wanting to subject themselves to the predatory advertisment practices of a billion dollar company.
Which is kind of a dick move.
Jesus christ you people are off the deep end.
did you read the comment you replied to?
Your Youtube creators would be better helped by donating to their patreon or koffi, not greedy corporations.
If only paying for Premium would remove the paid promotions from the content creators.
I paid for Premium so my children won't be brain washed by advertising, yet they still get subjected to product placement and dishonest promotion that often doesn't even explain that it's a promotion.
i have heard of some addons for youtube that allow for skipping sponsor segments and other stuff like begging to subscribe
i have see that on piped, which is a youtube frontend that removes any tracking and ads, kinda like invidious, but allows to skip sponsors and stuff. its pretty good! i only stopped using it because there are no servers in my country and videos took too long to load :D
Honestly, I'd just not watch that creator any more rather than go to those lengths.
the point is to watch without ads, not have the creator get no money
