    Imagine thinking a platform wanting you to pay for the service they provide is “bullying”.

    Christ you people are off the deep end.

      You mean the content they provide made by creators who only make a living through Patreon and donations?

        What absolute nonsense, over half of YouTube’s ad revenue goes to creators. The site itself is also phenomenally expensive to run.

          Even if YT gave all the money to the creators, ads are so cheap nowadays that it would need them approx 20.000 ad views just to pay a month of premium (and that’s assuming every cent goes to them) big creators and publishers sure make money out of ads, in the end they get millions of views. But a smaller creator thst works hours upon hours on a video is making probs less than minimum wage through ads. Ergo If they want to make money they need to rely on generous people.

      “Create the problem, sell the solution.”

      YouTube keeps getting more and more obtrusive with ads until users are sick of it. Annoying me into paying you is not going to work.
