C_Pain 10/13/23 2:32:33 PM #5:	I use Premium because I got used to the benefits when I did the free trial. I don't really watch Youtube on the computer so adblockers are a moot point.

archizzy 10/13/23 2:34:25 PM #8:	Ill just copy/paste what I commented on previously. I only use YouTube at work and our work computers dont have Adblocks and I dont have administrator rights to do it. Only our IT department can do that. With that being said I only use YouTube a couple times a month while eating my evening meal at work. Ill watch a movie or a game trailer and thats about it. I watch 5 seconds of a video and then skip it. Its not a major issue to me. If things became annoyingly problematic I can just stop using it the little I do. If I had to give up YouTube completely it wouldnt bother me. Im old and Im not enamored with the Internet and constant connection to it that some people are. Ive never even owned a cellphone in my life. The whole Internet could go away and other than gamefaqs and checking out some sports scores it wouldnt impact me much. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

Board_hunter567 10/13/23 3:17:43 PM #13:	I understand they need to generate revenue and they need more revenue as costs grow. But I don't know about calling ad blocking "freeloading," especially when fundamentally all ad blocking is doing is preventing your computer from connecting to certain servers. Freeloading would be more like getting things for free, receiving extra profit from the coverage, and paying in something intangible and immeasurable like "exposure" without paying a cent for hosting ~~haha jk...unless?~~ It's a complicated issue. I fully support blocking ads, for any reason, but I know ads are needed to pay for the service. I'd think there'd be enough people who don't block ads or pay for premium but maybe not, or maybe Google feels they have a right to more revenue. Maybe they're hoping this convinces a few people to pay up or just deal with the ads, maybe it's the start of more drastic measures, who knows. But I would never consider ad blocking controversial. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.

Google has to spend money on illegitimate people and measure elasticities on people who can afford premium If this is really about freeloading then Google needs to start charging a flat fee for video uploads or a flexible fee for YouTubers that meet a certain criteria. After all, why should Google be expected to host their videos, which pull in millions of server stressing views, for free while they're pulling in thousands if not millions from sponsors, merch, etc.? Why put all the burden on the common viewer? They might even be able to eliminate ads entirely. I'm being only half serious btw. It's just funny how this sort of compromise, while sounding perfectly reasonable when framed as a matter of freeloading in regards to file hosting, is not considered. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.
