Huh that doesn't make anysense? Youtube is profitable because of ads. It's not like it has a secrete revenue source and the ads are just gravy on top.
They are profitable because they data mine the shit out of you. And now they want you to pay them so they can continue doing it.
I mean, if you use your brain it makes perfect sense.
I don't watch ads. Youtube is profitable. I shouldn't have to watch ads on an already-profitable product.
Accepting less is just me lowering my standards so people richer than me can be even richer.
Might wanna brush up on that reading comprehension, lol.
