Curious to hear how you think YouTube should cover its costs if it's not allowed to show you ads and not allowed to charge you for usage.
Bootlickers everywhere man I swear
I asked a question. I wasn't promoting unfair pricing. Do you really not see the problem of economic sustainability here? You realize these guys can't get hardware, bandwidth or food for free right?
They could have a premium feature w/ premium features? I mean it's not my job to figure this out for them.
You're the one who is dissatisfied with the service they're offering. Are you saying you just don't want to pay, not see ads, and "they should figure it out" wrt how to pay server bills, bandwidth, software developers etc? I mean if that's your attitude then you're just costing them money and have no interest in meeting them halfway, so why should they even care about keeping you as a customer?
Correct, if they add unblockable ads, I will be downloading my entire subscriber list w/ various python libraries. I will leech them into the ground, idgaf.
Maybe look in which category you're in and figure out yourself how much we care.
Yeah, I guess I just thought you guys were smart enough to understand when you're biting the hand that feeds you. Even if you're all about self interest, there's a balance that needs to be upheld so as not to kill the system in which you're operating.
