I WOULD pay them not to show ads if they weren’t greedy AF.
Give me a family acct. Just youtube, no adds, no music, $15 a month.
Only demand my family members connect from home once every 90 days.
There is NO reason for Youtube to charge as much for their c-rate content than Studios producing actual shows/movies.
Typical American company.
We pay YouTube not to shows ads, then youtubers imbed ads in videos. So we pay to watch ads.
Sponsorblock my friend. It’ll automatically skip embedded ads. https://sponsor.ajay.app/
why pay ads when you can just block them? doesnt make sen to pay 10+$ for it, also i heard they want to increase the price and add in ads in the lower subscriptions anyways.
Because content isn’t free to produce? Because I want to support creators and can’t be half assed to donate to every individual random patron?
Every day brings us closer to AD BS.
while ALSO mining all your data.
No tf we don’t. YouTube ReVanced, YouTube Morphe, uBlock Origin
Smart tube on my older Sony android tv
And sponsorblock.
For some reason either morphe and revanced are stuttering for me recently
Force close the app and clear the cache, that fixes it for me.
Same for me, revanced takes what feels like an entire minute or more before starting playback. And quality settings are not available. Is there a revanced community here on Lemmy?
Pretty sure revanced has been abandoned. Morphe works perfectly fine, though I’ve had at least one instance since using it, that it stopped functioning, but just required an update. Using morphe for both youtube and youtube music.
Oh okay. Which is the official legit website for morphe?
Patching an APK with Morphe takes forever on GrapheneOS. Much slower than ReVanced ever was, I don’t get why.
Damn, that’s unfortunate. I have a bit over a month left on my cell plan and was thinking of switching carriers and getting a pixel for graphene.
I watched MST3K recently (a show that clearly denotes when classic network commercials would come on)
They mentioned commercials AFTER YouTube had already shown a 1 minute ad break.
We are late for a competitor.
Also: “and this is who is sponsoring me to show my shit on YouTube”
My fave is when there’s an ad break during an ad.
Not to be that guy, but it’s actually Companies pay the running cost of YouTube (plus a little bit of pocket money for the creators whose videos you watch) so you can watch free of charge, in exchange for this they get to show you a video. I don’t like Google either and rob them of their income by using an adblocker. Though if nobody pays and nobody watches ads they might find even worse ways to pay the bills.
What like… Charge influencers to upload their shit videos? Oh sweet baby Jesus, that would be amazing!
I rather pay for good entertainment than watch ads for bad entertainment.
The meme is talking about YouTube Premium who’s main selling point is ad-free viewing
Well, yeah. Companies pay youtube to show you ads on their platform; this lets youtube stay free for users while still being an unbelievably expensive operation (not debating the ethics just - that’s how the funding works). As an alternative, youtube gives you the option of paying them directly to buy the space ads would normally have bid on, and then blank it out. They get a steady monthly revenue stream, even if it’s less than they’d be making by selling that ad space, and you get no ads.
Need a tier for ad free, data collection free viewing.
Google wants to get paid thrice for YouTube. That’s not okay.
I’ll consider allowing ads when they stop harvesting and selling data - until then, that data is my payment.
They don’t get to show ads, sell our data, and charge a subscription. I’m tired of paying twice for shit.
Yeah Google sucks, didn’t want to defend them but the business model in general. Companies should not be allowed to sell data. Them collecting your data as part of their ad business is one thing, but selling it shouldn’t be allowed imo.
This. If you want to collect analytics for in house decision making, merchandising, whatever, I say go for. But as soon as you start selling that data or the conclusions thereof, it becomes a currency, and if I’m paying that currency you better not be asking me for another.
Nope. My adblocker is free.
I mean
How do you expect Youtube to make money
Capitalism 101: cause a problem. Get paid for the solution.
Also ignore any collateral or conscience.
