I will never tolerate ads. I will give up YouTube before I watch ads.
What is your suggestion for financing the YouTube infrastructure and development?
You're never going to get an honest answer to this question, but props for asking it anyway.
Maybe you can run the servers and pay the engineers with good vibes or praxis?
The honest answer was in the post they were originally replying to.
Youtube isn't an existential need.
Ad's or bust isn't a real dichotomy.
Here's another honest suggestion, drop ~~free~~ ad supported Youtube as a product and go full premium.
It'd significantly reduce infrastructure costs and they'd be able to fund it with subscription monies.
