    It amazes me how entitled these Internet hippies are nowadays. You can’t expect someone to provide such a huge service for free. If you don’t like ads, pay for it. It’s like $5 per month when you pay as a group…

      I would pay if

      1. Google promised not collect any data but now you would pay and have your data collected.

      2. I just want load my subscription feed and they are all there not hidden away.

      3. Hid shorts or have them on separate tab.

      4. Bonus would be if related videos where acutely related videos in time span. Not the mess they are now.

      Also why would I have to pay YouTube music? I don’t want that.

      The reason why most of us refuse to pay is because, as Louis Rossmann pointed out in a video, Youtube Premium does not actually let you watch shit offline for more than 3 days or something. Even though you have supposedly downloaded it, it asks you to connect to the internet before you can watch it.

      When you download a video you should require absolutely zero internet to go and rewatch it no matter how long in the future it is. But nah Youtube Premium requires you to turn back on the internet. I wonder why. Maybe, just maybe because even after you pay for the service, you are still the product so Google is not only taking your literal money but is gobbling up all of your data and selling it for even more money, and their download is a scam.

      No thanks, piracy is justified - Louis Rossmann.

      I’d rather Youtube and Google itself be split up under anti-trust laws. I don’t want them to exist.

      I’d rather people build smaller video websites for niche subjects so the internet is decentralized to the extent it was when it first started.

          Actually they are, because Google controls 90% of the internet, most cell phones while Apple controls the rest and does the same, meaning we consumers don’t get a choice.

          We’re just slaves.

            Google controls 90% of the internet

            Google doesn’t control shit, and you’re referring to the web, not the internet. Nobody forces you to use YouTube, Maps or their search engine. The websites you visit choose to incorporate Google analytics and ads, which you can easily block if you feel enslaved in that sense.
