TANSTAAFL
It works be one thing to advertise a service or product, but they just put ads in to literally annoy you into paying. I'm not kidding.
I WAS a YouTube premium member until recently, but dropped it because of crap like this.
I know there's no free lunch, my comment was about the way youtube does business: it's a dick move to annoy users into paying you. How is that worth a tnstaafl reply?
I wonder if the world has passed me by when I think that I'm taking a stand against corporate greed and bullshit and everyone else happily goes along with whatever.
That doesn't follow.
How would you see ads if you're a YTP member? You standing up for a freeloader? Their annoyance is your annoyance?
> it's a dick move to annoy users into paying you
What else should they be doing? You an advertising genius? Maybe cut off free youtube entirely? Only a free hour a day? Show me someone else that's in the same situation, by order of magnitude, and doing a better job by your standards.
Come back to reality, mate. Server bills (repair, licensing, etc) and rent and people running the servers and dear god so much else needs to be paid. YT is providing a service, a service that ain't free.
