That's nice of you, but it appears that the ad-supported business model doesn't work. It just results in enshittification and surveillance.

"We cannot have a society in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that it can happen is if it's financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them."

No one will ever pay for services like YouTube. Thus ads is the only way.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago

Plenty of people pay for cable and streaming services lol, what are you on about?

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

YouTube has a paid subscription which is ad free and with additional features. How many of you here, who complain about ads, use YouTube Premium? Mmm?

[-] Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Youtube is my main source of entertainment. I will pay for premium no problem. And yes, I totally hate ads. A music service for free with it that has a comment section so I can discuss the music with my peers. Also, it's insane the amount of data YouTube has to serve.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

A friend of mine pays for it, yes.

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

"A friend of a friend". Cool story. So far it's just one person here who pays to get rid of ads. And 1.45k upvotes for the post.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

No, a friend. Not a friend of a friend. And I'm sure many folks here she'll out the extra few bucks on stuff like Hulu to get the ad free version. Not sure what the hell you're on about.
