      I agree. YouTube can be very useful, but we really ought to be moving to other platforms at this point. Fuck YouTube.

        I’ve been using YouTube far more than any of my paid services for years. However I’m ready for a switch. If the YouTubers who I follow switched platforms I’d go with them in a second.

          Haha yeah fuck YouTube. I want the entire site to not only be free but free from ads.

          You’re all retarded. This shit costs money and you’re circumventing the way to not pay them. I bought premium and use an adblocker because I’m not a cheap piece of shit.

          Your content creators aren’t doing this for free so fucking pay them. What is wrong with you people?

          And both cost money, neither can exist if everyone circumvents the methods to make money.

      The reason while they have all the content, is precisely because they can generate revenue for channels. I much prefer payment through subcription and ad views to annoying in video sponsors and product placements

        But on YouTube you get both. If I could pay and not get in video sponsorship along with no ads, then I might consider it. But I will not pay to be advertised at.
