I pay for that, because YouTube and YouTube Music is the main source of media for me And my family and I have no issue with paying for a service that I use a lot.
And paying for that is so much easier then investing huge amounts of time into searching for and maintaining alternative Players and Tools for all the different devices where I (and my family) consume YouTube and YouTube Music.
My limited time is more valuable for me then the price for the service.
I can understand if you want to pay. But don’t say it’s hard to block ads when all you need is uBlock origin installed… And that’s it. It’s literally a 15 seconds job for the rest of the life of your browser.
I pay for yt family premium and Netflix but use neither of them on a regular basis.
My nephews grew up with a pretty shitty life. They don’t have a lot of fun things they can do in their situation. I figured the least I could do is give them YouTube music and some access to watch TV and movies on Netflix wherever they happen to be.
It’s the same reason my steam family is chock full of games I’ll never play.
A LOT of people pay for that. I was flabbergasted as well. Why would you pay for a free service? This feels like buying premium bottled tap water and they don’t even bother to filter out the chlorine and the heavy metals.
Wait, people pay for that?
As I said in a previous post, people are afraid of pirating, so they prefer higher prices if it is a “safe” method.
People need education.
bootlickers love theirs chains, they won’ be saved but younger folk have a chance to break the cycle of abuse

Remember that for many people they don’t have consume YouTube primarily in a browser
and once you are on 4k teevee, i see no issue paying for that quality.
i have an issue with being data mined while paying tho…

If it were a charity or non-profit that would be one thing. Google is doing fine without your support though.
It started out incredibly cheap ($15 mo for six people), and includes a Spotify style music streaming service
Do you pay for Lemmy? Did you donate something? Or do you think you don’t need to, because it’s free?
I’m sorry, I did not put this in the right words. I thought I already deleted the comment. But no yes yes.
People buy diet water, so i don’t think there is a limit to what people buy
