They could all go elsewhere, but they wonât, because yt is the best platform. Lots of anger and copium in this thread.
Comment on Well THAT fucking sucks! đ¤Ź
x1gma@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠agoYes, 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.

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.

âŚfor very specific definitions of âbestâ.

Making a living off of your content.

Right, thatâs why every creator has a patreon account because itâs so survivable on the cents YouTube ads pay out.
Stfu you corporate boot muncher.

Do you imagine that the majority of money people make of video production worldwide is from YouTube revenue? Or even a significant portion of it?

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.

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.

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.
