You’ve paid for the right to watch the movie. The movie industry will argue that you’ve just paid for the right to access that physical copy and I’m sure from a legal point of view they’re right as they’ve lobbied to increase control out of greed and the hope of being able to get more money out of you for the same effort.

Morally you paid to access the content, you paid to compensate the creators for their work. Now you’re entitled to view what you’ve paid for.

I’d love to hear your view. I haven’t really considered it.

My understanding is that for free users watching your content you get a percentage of the ad revenue. But views from premium subscribers earns you a flat rate not dependant on advertisements, and that flat rate is higher than what you’d get from an ad supported view.

The general consensus is YouTube is still greedy with the split , but at least they are offering more from a premium view.

I have ublock on my desktop but for me with a wife and kids who who have their own devices, the TVs in the house etc, the convenience of never getting ads on any device is really good.

And for me personally I don’t mind paying if I get value in return, and I do.

Maybe an unpopular opinion here… but checking my stats, since buying YouTube premium my account has watched over 50 days worth of ad free video content.

Now whilst I wish more of money went to the creators themselves, I can’t pretend I don’t get value out of the subscription. Especially compared to something like Netflix.

I have 6 subscriptions and YouTube is the last one I’d consider cancelling.

In the medium term I’m confident costs could be met using patreon or something similar for large instances.

Plenty of people willingly paid for reddit awards etc. I think most of us feel more loyalty to Lemmy than reddit in the light of recent events.

This. I’m ex-military. Our ration packs came with these highly processed cans of cheese. I’d go 4-5 days without doing a shit.

Was never a good time after though
