I agree. I just don’t see how you expect servers to pay for themselves. That’s not how any business works.
Google can’t use profits from their Google Photos members to pay for YouTube servers. They aren’t the same department.
Just like how Amazon owns Twitch, but Twitch doesn’t just get free server hosting from Amazon.
You also can’t use profits from Google Photos to pay the creators that upload to YouTube. Again, not how it works.
Google has also reported losses from YouTube year after year, because servers aren’t cheap, and literally everyone can upload as much as they feel like on YouTube. My YouTube channel is FULL of private videos. I probably have a good 1TB uploaded, that are private, meaning Google is storing them for me, but not profiting anything via ads.
You expect this free? You’re insane. Lemmy will never survive, because people like you think everything should be free. Lemmy has no ads, and I bet you would cut a nut off before you donate 1 penny to your instance admins.
Ok. Well hey, enjoy screaming in a Lemmy echo chamber. I’ll enjoy my ad free YouTube that works across all of my devices on any network without additional screwing around with piholes, DNS servers, and whatnot all for $5 per month. Not to mention supporting the creators I like so they can continue to make content for me to watch.
And when you want to watch on your TV? Or phone? Or somewhere not on your network? Enjoy juggling all those DNS servers and pihole configs. Or what about those posts daily about how you need to add new filters in your ad block because Google pushed an update?
I’ll spend the price of a coffee and just open the app. My time is worth $5. Sorry yours isn’t.
dont use a smart TV because I’m not an idiot. My adblock works on my phone too. Don’t have a pihole or DNS. Shit you spent more time typing out your message than I’ve spent worrying about ads in the last 10 years.
FOSS nerds gonna expect everything free.
Oh no! Won’t somebody think about the record corporate profits.

You can enjoy screaming on Lemmy about $5.
Stay winning, I guess.
My adblocker works just fine.

I don’t worry about ads either. $5 gets rid of them.
Enjoy burning YouTube videos onto DVDs to watch them on your TV, I guess.

The irony is commenting on my downvotes, acknowledging the echo chamber.
Enjoy crying because a company is asking for $5 to remove ads. Perhaps get a job? $5 is nothing.

You’re giving Google it, and they’re paying the creators with it. It’s a known fact YouTube premium pays creators more than watching ads.
Enjoy stealing money from creators.
