Sorry Google.
I'm gonna use YouTube ad free or I won't use it.
And I ain't gonna pay for it.
yeah, them needing the money (??) or whatever is one thing, but this arrogant fucking attitude lately is so repugnant. set up a patreon, don't fucking fight against your users like this. it's not exactly real TV or oxygen, it's fucking youtube. it's 90% garbage anyway
That's fine, but that's why Google is doing this. They need people who won't watch ads to stop using it to lower their costs. I mean what business survives with zero income? The question google is asking isn't whether or not some people will stop using it, the question their asking is will enough of them stop for them to generate income.
