Corpo shill alert
YouTube doesn’t need to get paid (by the users watching their ads) they get paid through you, the actual product. What you watch what you click on what you search for, these are ALL monitizable. You think Google is protecting your data instead of selling it lmao
Furthermore how much is enough? They gonna keep adding more and more unskipable ads more pre/mid/post rolls, b-b-but the multi fucking billion dollar corpo needs to get pAiD!!!!
Grow up
Só your solution is instead of charging the viewer charge who? The person that puts videos up?
Do you really think your anonymized user data is worth the 20 bucks/user the YouTube premium costs?
In your mind YouTube can just sell the data for the 2 billion users they have and instantly make 40 billion dollars a month from that?
If the data isn't worth it, why are these cunts stealing it?
Worth something, not 20 bucks per user per month.
The data is only useful because they can use it to run ads
They're "stealing" the data if they hacked another platform and got a hold of the data there.
You are literally using their website. You are giving them your data.
You want to stop them from "stealing" your data, stop using their services.
