I ended up paying for it because, frankly, expecting Youtube to be completely free and fighting how it could be paid for is kinda crazy. We’re just used to it being free but running Youtube is expensive. I watch hours of Youtube nearly every day and don’t use Crunchyroll nearly as much so why am I ok paying for that but not Youtube?

Yes, if they do actually start pushing ads then I’m going to wonder what the hell I’m paying for but for the time being I’m ok with paying for a service. I only started paying for it recently, to be fair, but I get it.

It depends how many hours per month you use it I guess.

I am fine paying for Netflix (it is quite cheap here as well) which I watch probably at least 20-30 hours per month but not for youtube which I use for the music maybe an hour per week or less.

YouTube frequency of commercials is unacceptable. If they were to play a commercial every half an hour or so, I would say it is too often but I would understand it.

They don't, they try to play a commercial every other song start, so every 7-10 minutes. They are taking a piss.

At the end of the day, Google is just going to double dip and take your money, and still sell your data.

They are, first and foremost, an ad company. Their money maker is the data they get from you; your viewing habits and whatever they can scrape from your computer.

I will not use youtube and use ads. The sooner they break my adblocker, the sooner i won't be on their platform

[–] [email protected] 16 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

I really don't think they understand this... If an ad starts playing on YouTube I just turn it off and see why my ad blocker isn't working. If it doesn't work I simply don't watch the video. I had no desire to switch to Firefox because Chrome was just working for me, but then it didn't work. There's no way in hell I'm sitting here with my adhd addled brain, with my 4 year old phone in my hands watching for 30 seconds why I need a brand new acura.

The only time I've ever willingly watched an ad was tiktok. Because they know I can simply swipe and skip it, but sometimes the sponsored content is creative and entertaining.

And yet ppl get ads with premium cuz youtube says fuck you

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

I don’t get any ads, what are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

They might be referring to people who have it occur due to a technical problem (needing to clear their cache or something). Other than that, tons of my friends and coworkers have Premium and they've never complained of ads, so I don't think it's a normal thing that occurs frequently.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

I believe they're trying out different tiers of premium in certain regions (not the US). Lower tier premium has ads.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

Lol why are you getting down voted? Jeez lemmy users are sensitive about paying for an entertainment service.

Premium ads popped up a bit ago, there were several posts and articles about it. Apparently they're also testing different tiers of premium like Netflix.

Supporting the creators, yeah, because thats what Google built their empire on top of.

Caring about people.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Most creaters (even smaller ones) doesn't care about revunue (YT creaters get paid if they're in YPP) loss from adblockers and lm pretty sure YouTubers also use adblock instead of paying Premium

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If only we could directly support the people we wanted to.... Oh wait.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well you can actually. For example there is channel memberships.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Prefer Patreon or other means. YT takes 30% of that money, and including bs like processing fees that's more like 36%. Patreon's share is 12%.
