  That didn’t keep Amazon from adding ads to the paid version of Prime and making a higher paid tier. How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?

    And when that happened I stoped watching prime and just put on my eye patch & tricorn 🏴‍☠️…

    Though I’m still paying for the content I just watch it differently than intended 🤷‍♂️

      Seeks like a bunch of us chose to do the same. These companies actually believe there is no end to what they think they’re entitled .

    The correct question is actually “when will Google implement the same?” Because this is a “when will it happen” question, not a “will it happen” question.

      I stand corrected.

  You never know, they might produce a YouTube Premium Plus plan or something.

    Again it would be dead to me if it happened. I wouldn’t pay more for what I get now.

      Empty words, you would pay them whatever they demand of you, and you know it.

        Nah, I have my limits. I have a movie server and most of my favorite shows, I’m gonna be fine.

      You never know, streaming happened like that

      • nexussapphire@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        And that’s why I don’t pay for steaming services, I buy DVDs and put them on my server. Don’t ask me what happens when I can’t buy a DVD/blueray.

  I pay for YouTube premium

  Not as bad as paying for Twitter, but close.

  • nexussapphire@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don’t really watch regular TV.

      supposedly creators I watch get paid

      I mean, that’s why I’m on Patreon. But fuck YouTube.

      • nexussapphire@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah, I know it’s not an excuse but I’m lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I’ve heard it even pays out if it’s demonetized (don’t take my word on that one though.)
