Só your solution is instead of charging the viewer charge who? The person that puts videos up?
Do you really think your anonymized user data is worth the 20 bucks/user the YouTube premium costs?
In your mind YouTube can just sell the data for the 2 billion users they have and instantly make 40 billion dollars a month from that?
If the data isn't worth it, why are these cunts stealing it?
The data is only useful because they can use it to run ads
Worth something, not 20 bucks per user per month.
They're "stealing" the data if they hacked another platform and got a hold of the data there.
You are literally using their website. You are giving them your data.
You want to stop them from "stealing" your data, stop using their services.
