MODERATORS
I'm on it daily. A ton of hours between watching videos and enjoying the music catalogue. It's definitely the only reason I don't mind paying premium. No complaints.
My unpopular opinion is that YouTube has every right to enforce ads on their platform if you're not paying for the service.
The service where they crowd sourced 2/3 of their catalogue from "sharecare" pirate bears?
Infrastructure is not free.
Absolutely not our problem. They can come up with other business models. Maybe they can resurrect one of the hundreds of projects/business models from them at https://killedbygoogle.com/ and run with that
It's much cheaper than the money they make on it though. Hence all the profits.
Youtube operated at a loss for years
It hasn't operated at a loss anymore for years you mean?
You mean when they started playing ads?
