I want Google to store an exabyte of storage, and send me videos at speeds that allow me to watch them at 4K @60hz for free tho?
They chose to store an exabyte of storage without a business model people find acceptable.
They also decided they didn't care about moderation and became a cesspit of far-right and conspiracy trash.
They can fuck off.
I dunno. I pay for premium. The price feels justified given how much I use YouTube pretty much every day.
But if others feel differently, that's fine.
The far right shit is bad, there's a lot bad in general, but I still get a lot of value from lefty politics to atheism content to video game essays to music videos.
I see why you might make that decision.
Myself, I never use YouTube on purpose. I sometimes go there for music videos, short clips (like a Simpsons gag), and video game walkthroughs. Honestly, none of that really needs a mega global behemoth company to back it. The price they charge for premium is too much for me, and the ads are intrusive.
So, I don't want to pay what they're charging. But I get why some people might.
