Comment on Damn it YouTube!
FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 days agoIt depends how many hours per month you use it I guess.
I am fine paying for Netflix (it is quite cheap here as well) which I watch probably at least 20-30 hours per month but not for youtube which I use for the music maybe an hour per week.
YouTube frequency of commercials is unacceptable. If they were to play a commercial every half an hour or so, I would understand it. They don’t, they try to play a commercial every other song start, so every 7-10 minutes. It is fucking annoying.

I don’t get any commercials now and I use it for all kinds of stuff from educational videos to hours and hours of things like D&D streams. It’s all worth it.
You pay nothing for it and complain about commercials. I don’t want to go shilling for corporations but whining about Youtube paying the bills is just sad, bud.

You responded to my comment about being ok with paying to not get ads by saying that one ad every thirty minutes would be too much for this service you just expect to get for free. It’s not a necessary utility, deal with it.
No amount of reading comprehension on my end will make up for the lack of it on yours.

You read it. Now try to understand what you read.

At the end of the day, Google is just going to double dip and take your money, and still sell your data.
They are, first and foremost, an ad company. Their money maker is the data they get from you; your viewing habits and whatever they can scrape from your computer.
