Serving videos is expensive, but gøøgl€ could file for bankruptcy and still continue hosting yt for a long time. gøøgl€ is not some small company with limited funds and them not getting ad revenue from yt isn't going to bankrupt them in any way.
Everyone seems to forget one aspect... Google is constantly eating up your data, selling it to advertising companies and the what not. Now, last time I checked, Google owned YouTube. So, in my personal opinion, Google can have my data in exchange for no ads. Don't get me wrong, i'll still support my favorite creators through Patreon and all that... but screw google. I'm not buying premium when I'm forced to because of their greed.
I don't really know how people can expect YouTube to exist without some sort of income.
The age of free content is coming to a close as VC funds dry up. Serving video is expensive.
In reaction to this news from YouTube, I signed up for Premium. $12/mo for my main source of content? Easy decision.
Of course the Tesla stan is fine with aggressive advertising.
Oh no!
Anyways....
You're a living breathing cliche of a credulous pay piggy, so it fits that you have nothing to say but a stale aging meme.
Oh no!
Anyways...
It has existed for 20 years just fine.
You people leap to the defence of billionaires making even more money any chance you get. Gobbling up that boot.
Yes. Very reasonable take. Well done.

Thats more than most streaming services cost..l
And youtube doesnt create the content.. lol
You can also subscribe to YT premium lite for 6$/mo. Basically YouTube premium without YouTube music and background playback.
Not anymore.
Only for copyright control freaks unwilling to use bittorrent-style multicast distribution. That's a "them" problem, not an "us" problem.
Congratulations on being a consumer removed, I guess?
It checks out for a Tesla stan to be so shallow and empty inside that all they got is identity flair stickers from the numerous products they consume.
Waaaaah why can't I just get everything for free!? Waaaaaaah

I have premium as well. What really bothers me though, is the fact that if you use the incognito mode, ads reappear.
Because incognito mode logs you out. What are you expecting to happen?
