Are you familiar with the network effect?

I am. It's just ironic to say "fuck Google" while continuing to depend on Google's service

You people are arguing that YouTube should be hosting videos without asking for any compensation. You will continue blocking ads no matter how many of them there are.

I hope YouTube just completely paywalls itself so this whining can end already.

Don't cut yourself with that edge!

inb4: "But YT operates at a loss and needs monies". No. Just no. They deliberately worked at a loss to stifle and kill opposition.

I wouldn't mind paying for a service given I pay for my email provider when I can get gmail for free. Pretty ignorant to ignore the whole monopoly and say sToP uSiNg YoUtUbE tHeN. I will take what I need and I won't give a penny or my data to those dicks. I also hope they paywall so there will be competitive services that I can happily pay for :)
