why do I need to keep explaining this? This is not about 4 bucks, this is about a multinational company that has a monopoly and last year made a profit of 59 billion dollars, and not happy with that profit is trying to extort even more money from users from whom it already sells the data it collects.
A company that does not care about the security and privacy of its own users and treats content creators and employees like garbage.
And to make matters worse due to google’s own greed, if it had an acceptable amount and length for advertisements (and cared about the legitimacy and type of content distributed by these advertisers) no one would be forced to use ad blockers.
And that’s just the part that concerns youtube, as the problems with google’s other products and actions go even deeper.
Because somehow paying $4 a month is unreasonable for a service that I use for 2-4 hours every day.
Right.

But of course, that’s about 4 bucks.
