Most of their ads are still skippable, aren’t they?
In my experience, no.
And can you prove no one asked for a premium service? I certainly recognize ads are a way to pay content creators and would like an alternative way to pay them in exchange for not seeing ads, so that already disproves your claim.
I said annoying ads and premium service. If ads were not annoying and you still wanted to support your content creators without watching ads; that’s fine, premium service sounds a good solution to you. But Google chose the asshole way. They bombarded us with ads if we wanted not to pay. Even though I hate ads I am not against them. They should be short and not annoying.
And what does YouTube being profitable have to do with paying content creators, anyway?
If it’s profitable they can pay content creators.
YouTube, who were known for running at a loss for years at the start, needs a way to pay content creators as well as pay for server costs to host YouTube videos.
Google is known for killing their services if they don’t bring money. Let’s assume what you said is true, so you are telling me that Google paid from their pocket and waited patiently till they became monopoly so they can execute their asshole plan?
Sure, they are also greedy, but watching content without paying the creators is not the actual way to fight that, is it? If you disagree with how Google runs YouTube, just stop watching YouTube instead of punishing the content creators.
Google built an empire by tracking us through the web sites before ad blockers are a thing. I’m punishing Google not content creators. If Google cared about content creators they wouldn’t behaved like this in the first place. Why would care about content creators when their employer Google does not give a f**k about them?
Go watch them on alternative platforms where you can directly pay for their content like Patreon or Ko-Fi.
I haven’t heard about Ko-Fi before . I’ll take a look at that.
And finally I should add that Google is a danger to the internet. With this “pay for premium or you’ll watch more ads then the content” bullshit they are becoming a role model to other streaming services.
Skippable and short ads were fine. No one asked for annoying ads and a “premium” service. And it was already profitable. Greedy Google wanted more money.
It is not about money. Google created a problem and then asked money to solve it. If I were a billionaire I still wouldn’t paid a single penny.
I’ve been using Firefox since 2018 and I wish I started to use it much earlier than that but sorry this sounds like a lame excuse. Edge came as a default browser but no one used it when it was built on EdgeHTML engine. People love it now because with Chromium it is a better browser now.
@RunningInRVA@lemmy.world @Maven@lemmy.zip IMO it would be monopolistic if Google forced Mozilla to remove the ability to change the default search engine. But if you want Mozilla to ask users which search engine they would like to set as default during initialization of the browser even after dealing with Google, that would definitely be nice.
How is that monopolistic if we are able to change our default search engine?
What if AI is too intelligent and tricking us into thinking it’s not a danger?
They should’ve banned israel.
It depends how hard boners are.

France could have stopped their own genocides.
Still not an enough reason to install that Tencent spyware imo.
People install McAfee, Epic and CCleaner?
Fucking cunt
Apple shamelessly sell a “pro” device with 8 GB of RAM.
Imagine being killed by your tax.
