    Except Google is double dipping, making money off of your data while charging for the “privilege”. Fuck all that

      Agreed. However I still can’t make a good faith argument as to why YouTube should be free. I too prefer not to pay but I never expected that to last forever and we’ve had a good run. I basically got a 15 year free trial and now they want me to pay for it - fair enough (I don’t yet thought)

      JW do you know how much money google actually makes off of your data?

      I tried searching it and didn’t find anything.

      “Selling my data should be enough money to cover video bandwidth” is a common argument in this thread and was wondering if anyone actually had numbers to back that up.
