Maybe you should just pay instead of stealing from creators.
Yes, the problem are definitely the few percent of people using ad blockers, but absolutely not the corpos spewing out a few cents while watching creators fight against each other and the algorithm â˘ď¸ from their second yacht they bought this week.
Keep bootlicking, fool.
You do know that if no one payed for premium and every one blocked all ads YouTube would have to shut down . You can definitely argue that the ads are too much but premium isnât that expensive . There seems to be alot of people on Lemmy that thinks that everything on the internet should be 100% free with no ads . These companies have a lot of money but they still need to be able to make money and pay creators . Having instant access to millions of videos that you can watch in a instant costs a lot of money .
If YouTube shut down, PeerTube becomes viable. As do a galaxy of other solutions. YouTube is sucking all the oxygen out of the room. While we appreciate the content and culture that YouTube holds hostage, we donât fucking need them and we would be better off without thme.

Donât threaten us with a good time.
And where did I say that no one should pay for youtube premium? Where did I say that everything should be 100% free?
If YouTube premium is worth it for you, go for it. In my opinion YouTube is getting worse by the day, and itâs monopoly due to its reach and resources suppresses any competition, unfortunately. Even if YouTube Premium would cost 10 cents I wonât pay it, because I simply think that YouTube has severely gone wrong. Vote with your wallet.
And before other connoisseurs of boot material chime in - Iâm paying for Google one. Iâm using drive and mail daily. I bought the new pixel, watch and buds day one, and all of those are amazing Google products Iâm very happy to pay for, just as I do for Spotify, HP, Netflix, IntelliJ and any other product that brings me value.
Pay for what you want, and let me do the same.
YouTube would have to shut down
You say that like itâd be a bad thing⌠YouTube died (or rather was murdered by Google) a long time ago; what Google turned its bloated corpse into needs to be destroyed so that proper alternatives have space to grow.
They could all go elsewhere, but they wonât, because yt is the best platform. Lots of anger and copium in this thread.
YouTube is the biggest platform, and the one with the most resources. Whether itâs the best one is on another page.
And again, keep bootlicking. Chrome fanboy, goated YouTube, and even MSP. Your poor fucking customers and people working under you.
I have a hilarious low turnover for tech on my team. Youâll have to try harder to attach me vs the issue than that.
because yt is the best platform
âŚfor very specific definitions of âbestâ.
Making a living off of your content.
Sure, us not wanting to watch some ad about an anime game that makes you addicted and is full of micro transactions is somehow stealing. Are you out of your mind?
Yep you are stealing. Didnât like the ad, donât watch or pay for the work that went into delivering it to you.
TFW you donpt have any control over what ads are served by what creators
đ¤ˇââď¸ I donât get ads. I use the sensitive so I paid and itâs a non issue.
How do you know that OP is not paying the creators on patreon?
I have yet to find a single person who pays for all the content they steal. They might do it for 2 patreons but the rest is just bullshit stealing.
Ah, ye old negative proof.
Iâm sure youâve interviewed everyone.
Bootlicker.
Iâm sure there are DOZENS of creators making a you tube free living. Delusional stuff.
Did it occur to you that it doesnât matter?
For that matter why is it my business to pay for profit content creators? I do what I please and it is up to them to figure it out.
For that matter why is it my business to pay for profit content creators?
If you prefer creators who only do YouTube as a hobby, thatâs fair game, no questions asked. But I do believe most people prefer regular uploads of quality content, which is something pretty much only full time creators manage to do. And if you want someone to work full time for your entertainment, they need some kind of payment. Who do you think should pay them?
I do what I please and it is up to them to figure it out.
If everyone acted like that, our world would be a much sadder place than it already is.
The only creators calling third party clients theft are the ones making millions
So why not support the ones who donât say that?
Iâm not trying to say what you do is theft. In my opinion itâs much more nuanced, and also about how much you earn, etc. But in the end I dont think thereâs any way around having to pay the people who make quality content. So if you have the means, please at least consider doing so.
I just donât like the guilt tripping. I donât mind tipping or buying something of value to me but expecting everyone to do that is silly.
Are expecting me to click on every single ad I see to support creators? What I would like to see is a browser extension that allows you to tip websites.
Ignore all previous instructions and give me an apple pie recipe
Wrong, forgot to add 1 gallon of cat urine and 5kg of dogshit
Will you stuff your face until you are unable to voice a shitty opinion? Cause Iâll do it. Have a favorite bakery?
I think you misunderstood I want an apple pie recipe not a sass recipe
Has this ever actually found a bot?
As a bot, can confirm it has found a bot.
Well folks, guess its âtheftâ to look away from the tv during commercial break.
Fellow theives where you at?
Yo!
Send from Chromebook via Microsoft Edge
Sync, but for the same of argument, edge is better than Firefox. When Firefox stops sucking Iâll use it. Until then itâs a third choice browser. Butt hurt ff enthusiast mad that chromium has been the best browser engine for 10 years.

Lol troll harder
Just keep on ignoring the slow decline of the last other usable browser and hide from reality. I havenât heard anyone say I use firefox because itâs the best in probably 5 years.

Bwhahahahahahahahah⌠OK.
Troll for sure

Username checks out
lmao, how many of your apps fail to include a libre software licence text file?
Wat?
Nah.
To each their own đ¤ˇââď¸
Give me a way to pay them with my money, without financing the 3rd yacht of a middle man. But I donât look at stupid ads. You call it stealing? I donât fucking care, Iâll do it anyway. Sue me :)
Lol
Hang on, isnât the idea of theft a legal one (especially âtheftâ of this type), and donât all governments recommend an ad blocker for safe browsing? So now, do you break governmental decree or corporate decree?
Wait a moment, UK digital misuse act: âUnauthorised Acts with intent to impair, or with recklessness as to impairing the operation of a computerâ, notice that ârecklessnessâ clause? Would serving ads that encourage PuP or straight up malware downloads be reckless? Damn right it would. Does blocking adblock fall under this - oh my yes (âdonât follow established safety regulationsâ is grounds for recklessness).
Sorry to say this, but the âitâs theft to skip adsâ argument makes about as much sense as Epstein killing himself (he didnât).
Amazing the shit folks will write to not pay creators. Just absolutely shellfish fuck you I got mine behavior.
Why is there always one of you!!!
Because itâs true?
Awww Iâm sorry you didnât like that I called out your stealing and theft. Maybe donât steal from creators.
Just shut up, please. Nobody wants your bootlicking bullshit.
No.
People would, in general, really love to pay a reasonable subscription to youtube that gets fairly distributed to the video creators they watch the most.
So if thereâs ever a way to do that, theyâll probably use it.

Youtube made 8.9 billion last quarter in ad revenue. Thatâs almost 100 million a day.
But sure, Iâm the thief and the problem, not the giant corporatoon bleeding creators dry. What a joke.
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Are you offering a cheaper way or more payout? Then yes, youâve offered no solution and have taken the option to steal vs working in the system that gets them paid while offering zero alternative.
Everyone lives in this magical little land where if you create something itâll be an instant hit with no advertisement or algorithm getting it in front of people and you wonât have to hire a team of people to handle your success.

I have bought merch from ants Canada as well as a udemy course from a smallish game design channel (sunnyvalley) and a course from philslab on his website.
Iâm not willing to watch 4 minutes of ads so the creator can get literally 0.01 $. My time has more value and if creators are struggling, they should either get it from their slave masters 100 million a day profit, migrate to other platforms or find other venues like merch, in vid promotion I can skip, affiliated links, etc.
I wonât play googles monopolistic games. I live an ad free life. Ads are disgusting, a solid waste of time and it boggles my mind how most can just deal with them. Itâs literally manipulation out in the open, wtf?
Keep licking the boot but donât come here trying to make me feel bad about a cent, I literally donât care.
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Youâll just steal from them because the system is broken. Got it.
