  • It’s funny to me that people have such a problem with YouTube Premium.

    Just means you don’t see or agree with their point of view.

    YouTube Premium is about as close as it gets to the platonic ideal of a video subscription service. It completely banishes any ads you’d get without paying

    I don’t understand what you mean here (could be because English isn’t my native language). For YouTube premium, you still need to pay. So how does it banishes ads without paying?

    Anyway, you still get in-video sponsors which doesn’t get automatically skipped by YouTube’s “premium”. A lot of people (included myself) find premium expensive for what it is. I, personally, don’t need the whole package for €15-20/monthly. It could’ve been like €5/monthly to remove ads.

    Sure one could use advantage of currencies but ain’t worth it when there’s uBlock Origin + SponsorBlock for Firefox, SmartTube for TV, uYou+ for iOS and ReVanced for Android.

    If showing ads is unacceptable, and paying to not see ads is unacceptable, then what’s the alternative?

    It is not that’s “unacceptable”, it is the price and ‘value’ you get out of it.

    People have to make a living, and servers don’t run on magic.

    Google/ YouTube (whatever) as a company are immensely rich. Toning down the price or change their tactics won’t hurt them so much. But of course they won’t, I would not either because eventually there are people who will gladly pay the €15/monthly. So why change?

















  • Yeah, they’re in a war that Lebanon started. And turns out, only America has the luxury of leaving their enemies alive

    It seems someone has certainly not educated themselves on history. But did not expect that anyway from an Israel-supporter who is fine with murdering innocent people along the way.

    Israel literally stole the Palestinian land, murdered many innocent people along the way and displaced 750 000 Palestinian people.

    You cannot expect people and other countries to just let that happen without retaliation.

    Besides I don’t even think America has any luxury of letting enemies alive if they’re immensely dangerous to the country. But then again America is the one enabling Israel to commit all these war crimes (genocide).

    EDIT: Ouch, seeing your comment history. You deny that Israel is a Apartheid state. I will just block you. You are not worth the debate because of that.
