Yes…? YouTube wants to get paid. Companies pay YouTube to play ads. You pay YouTube not to play ads. If you do that, then the companies obviously won’t be paying for that. So either you pay or the advertisers pay. Mind blown!
Exactly. Someone has to pay for it. The infrastructure, the bandwidth the creator payouts. That all costs money. A lot of money. We can talk about if the cut Google takes is too big and if they could do with less ads or cheaper premium but someone has to pay something.
Ad views aren’t sold individually, though views’re certainly involved as a metric. These fucks will take all the money they can, every time, and for as long as they can get away with it.
Your “never” there is endearingly naive, no offense, and I do hope that you’re not at all surprised the next time you read/hear about any/every tech giant emphatically shitting on everyone & everything for profit, but getting <1% TR fines when (not “if”) they get caught and taken to court. 🥲🙇🏼♂️

Also happy cake day.
Hey thanks, I had no idea!
It’s the taking of money for both and only doing one that’s the issue, friend. Breathe.
Do they not get paid by advertisers per view? Wouldn’t they only ever get paid for either premium or ads for a user, never both?
