That’s my problem, you have to be logged in if you pay and that’s just more data for them to suck up.
I watch not logged in. If I want to comment I use a different device.
There was a time where they only used banner ads. Or ads before the video and not in the middle. Honestly, if they had a cheap, no frills ad free sub, I’d pay for it.
Most likely, especially if it’s not locked to one device. I know about their premium lite sub, but 8 dollars for “less” ads isn’t going to do it for me.
I would prefer a model that does not demand infinite growth, leading to ever declining quality and services. I would prefer a tech site that’s satisfied bringing in a comfortable and steady flow of profit.
I’m curious what people would prefer for revenue generation models. Just subscription fees? A lot of folks also seem resistant to that as well.
I would happily pay for yt premium, if that also meant that google does not violate my privacy and sell my data.

That’s really interesting! Would you pay $8 for a no ads subscription?

That’s how much my student subscription is, that’s why I was curious. I think it’s $6.99 plus tax?

All decent people would. I meant within the bounds of treason and tyranny.
Oh, uh, pass.
Pass on what? Using YouTube at all?
What they had like 10 years ago a couple ads here and there. Not 5 minutes ad 5 minutes ad 5 minutes ad 5 minutess ad.
Interesting. I didn’t think anyone was cool with any ads.
Direct sponsoring has worked in the past with many open source projects (including lemmy.world). Could be closer to what Patreon does.
