wackyteen 07/05/23 10:13:28 AM #3:	No. Though I don't personally think that YouTube is a bad platform, least not in comparison to other sites. It has its issues, sure. You could force everyone to watch enough ads to make YouTube profitable and the site would still burn money like a volcano burns virgin sacrifices --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.

Youtube has one of the most generous creator payout schemes when it comes to social media platforms. So maybe. I don't know how much revenue is lost to adblocker so the real answer is, "it's probably too marginal to really improve the situation." If a much larger fraction of users were using premium, it would make a world of difference in creator income which should improve the content. --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man#Steelmanning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity <cite>Anarchy_Juiblex posted [p:974637558] in Would YouT...

iCurious 07/05/23 9:36:21 PM #16:	As if Google is lacking the money necessary to improve their site...? With all the money in the world, all they do is fuck up their products whenever the mood hits them. I'm beyond convinced that some of it is deliberate. It's been like 12 years or something and comments still have a dislike button that just sits there to remind me that I can't do anything with the button. And now they've done the same with video dislikes, knowing how much it pissed people off. Still the button sits there, ostensibly so that those 5 people still bothering to hit dislike can provide invisible negative feedback to the uploader. Google is all about trolling and mind games. It is also possible that they're just a very rich, lazy company that likes to put off whatever they know they can get away with putting off indefinitely, but I'm leaning more towards trolling. --- "Curiosity was framed.
