Then don't be shocked when they start putting up walls. It's shocking to me how many people take this as some kind of right and act indignant and make up every excuse under the sun to justify why YouTube should cater to pirates ๐คฃ
Adblocking isn't piracy though...
"If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"
Oh, go ahead and let them place YouTube behind the paywall. We need some new players in this area.
I'm the product in the current YouTube business model, why should I care about their profits?
Also I promise I won't be whining if YouTube shuts down. I will be celebrating. For now, as they hold monopoly, I will watch them however I wish and help anyone else to do the same.
I never said you should care ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I said you shouldn't be shocked when freeloaders continue to be locked down.
Lol jokes on you. They wouldn't dare make it completely paywalled.
