  • Honestly I'm starting to wonder if the reason why we got ourselves into a ad filled hell hole is because we expect soo much to be free and those things have to make money somehow and server space and the electricity they run on aren't free and the only people willing to spend money are whales and advertisers and from what I've been told YouTube was never profitable on it's own for Google and the only reason they've been keeping the site on is because it brings attention to other Google services while also preventing competition so I greatly think we'd all benefit from being open to paying for sites that are like YouTube so YouTube and advertisers have some real competitors I don't know how a my theoreticall site would profit without ads but it's still sad that sites like YouTube are expensive and unprofitable making it so Google is the only option solely because they can afford the loses making yt premium even more greedy
