I don’t even pay 5$ for my internet connection. Okey, let’s assume i find 6 people i know that are willing to pay 5$ (a whole day worth of work from a paycheck that’s barely enough for bare minimum necessities ). The steps needed to pay youtube are as follows :
spoof my location to some western country to be able to create a credit card(illegal and the card can be removed at any moment )
-since our currency is virtually worthless and the gouvernement doesn’t have a regular legal place to buy foreign currency. I have to buy currency from the black market at 1.5 their worth with a high chance of being scammed. (buying foreign currency from the black market is in a grey area judicially but it’s technically also illegal )
Stop sucking big corpo dicks. You’re a worthless number to them. If it was legal they’d infect you with the worst malware imaginable to sell your data.
Lol I’m not sucking anyone’s dick, I’m just tired of people complaining about YouTube and Google “stealing their data” when they are using things like YouTube that cost insanely large amounts of money to maintain. Users who are using ad blockers and not signing up for premium thereby stripping them of monetization that they need to maintain the services and pay content creators essentially expecting them to keep YouTube running as a form of charity. The fact that I’m here having to tell people to knock it off is a very bad sign considering how anti corporation I am. If their user share is growing as fast as it is while their revenue per user is dropping them tell me how you would solve that problem outside of targeting features favored by users that aren’t using ad blockers. Do you think that reducing the number of ads in the hope that those currently using ad blockers will immediately disable them and thereby make up that disparity? Because I doubt that seriously. Do you think that they should stop collecting data with the expectation that advertisers are going to spend the same amount for less effective advertising? Because I don’t. So please tell me how you would handle this.
Am virtually worthless advertisement wise . Our currency is worthless and I can’t buy anything.
Google is making money off youtube since 2016(not sure of the year but they’re making money ). But Investors want more and more money every quarter and since everyone in the world already have a youtube account the only way is to squeeze it from the userbase a bit more each time.
Am not against ads but they’ve become unbearable and worst they’re designed to literally exploit how my brain works to force me into buying their stuff and that alone is enough to never want to see an ad ever again.
I will probably make in a lifetime of work what you’ll make in 2-3 years so we’re not in the same situation.
That’s the only good thing i guess. I heard that the law is against ppl and they can treat humans like cattle as long as its for your safety (lets set covid as an example). What a shitty place to live.
For older/lower end computers, enhanced-h264ify is a godsend. It blocks youtube from playing VP9 codec which can cause heavy cpu usage on older hardware. It can also block 60fps video as well.
