Its not piracy though... its the same as if you recorded television and then... skip over the ads. TiVo was doing that 25 years ago. You have no obligation to watch ads.

If content relies purely on ad revenue and viewer ship disappears, perhaps its time to rethink the revenue stream.

We all fucking know what 'piracy' means in terms of software piracy and copyright infringement.

People like you are just being pedantic for the sake of derailing the argument.

Just admit you are a fucking leech and move on.

Except you do not know what copyright infringement is. One must be depriving the owner their rights, such as distributing copyright material. The real loser here is youtube. By not watching ads, youre costing them bandwidth and violates theyre ToS. But theyre a multi billion dollar tech giant that has no quams about fucking society over. So fuckem.

Me: stop being a pedantic twat, we all know what everyone means by piracy in this case

You: let me be even more pedantic

It's ok bro just admit you're a leech and move on.

You literally do not have to use YouTube.

And what exactly would not using youtube accomplish?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It'd make you less of a self righteous leech for a start.

Let's just say I am not surprised you have no clue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not answering my question suggests you dont have any clue either.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's the content creators you fucking single braincelled organism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah... so... you assume i dont directly support creators because i dont watch corporate marketing?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You certainly don't, considering you're crying about YouTube ads. If you were actually supporting the creators of the content you watch, you'd be able to watch their content on whichever platform you support them on, ad free.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not if they only upload to youtube...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lmao sure.

It's ok to be a leech man just admit it and move on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

you must been in marketing to be this upset noone wants to watch advertisement to shitty products.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

No, but I understand how free content distribution works.
