You don't pay YTP because you care about creators, you pay because you want to avoid adds. If you cared about creators, you will drop them a bag

I refuse to pay Google because they already making money by me using their service, plus straling my stuffs.
Once again, Google already male a profit by me being a user, paying more to avoid add when I can do it for free is being a sucka and an enabler.

Why I use Google? Because I have no choice. It's basically a monopoly.

I hope one day those GAFAM will go thru what Standard Oil went thru.
Right we used to use other platforms like dailymotion but google effectively became a monopoly and bought up YouTube which used to be its own entity we don’t owe these pos nothing.

I either circumvent using adblocks on my computer

Use brave browser on my phone

Or if I am using my tv just accept the ads

but it's not effectively a monopoly. Alternatives for google products exist.

it's up to you to use those alternatives...you and the other guy continue to use google products out of laziness, complacent

There are plenty of people alive that don't watch YouTube at all it is absolutely a choice. Nobody ever has to watch it. Other video entertainment products exist. TikTok, Instagram, Netflix the list goes on.

Yes and I choose to watch it because there are content creators that I like there and circumvent ads when I can without paying premium. Because it is a choice. We still don’t owe the owners of the platform anything.

Secondly short form content is not an alternative. Netflix is tv series and film not user generated content and news.

So you consume what they make and circumvent any method of contribution to their livelihood and the platform they depend on for it. Floatplane, Nebula, Patreon there are ways to contribute and watch the content that creators make not involving YouTube.

I don't see why you people can't just admit you want what you want and don't give a fukk about them or the platform they depend on. When I was a pirate I had no problem admitting it was all for me fuck everyone else.

Preaching the evils of Google but unable to abstain from using their platform because you don't want the inconvenience of missing out so you shaft the creator and effectively steal their content. Then there's the mental gymnastics of blaming Google to absolve yourself of any accountability. All to not add your $14 a month to the pool or let ads play so you can watch and contribute. Disgusting.

Breh you’re the one doing mental gymnastics to prove you’re a morally upstanding citizen just because you pay for premium. :russ: I lose no sleep over this and haven’t stolen anything from creators I like and just because you say it doesn’t mean it’s true :umad:

Imagine getting mad at another man for not paying for premium :mjlol:

that's perfectly fine...it's the ones framing it like they making a stand against an evil corpo...whilst supporting other evil corpos.
They aren't hurting Google at all. The real victims are the content creators. Google has more money on the balance sheet than they know what to do with and will be fine but if some of these small creators don't get enough support it's a wrap for them. They need every dime they can get.

The absolute selfishness of watching the content for free and not even letting the ads play so these creators get paid. To sit back and think I should have the full experience for free and damn everyone else.

I don't pretend to be a great person but even I'm not that shitty.

People still using the “can’t afford premium’ argument is so silly

I’m sure most people here have $15 a month. It’s the fukking 🗣️NOT WANTING TO lol and principle of it.
That's fine but we get threads complaining every month about the ads getting worse or their ad blocking apps no longer working .

Pay the money or don't complain . It's that simple .

After reading half the comments I can't believe Youtube hasn't added ads to Premium and reintroduce another ad free tier.
