    There was 0% chance of me paying for it before, and it’s still 0 now. A service is supposed to offer you goods in return for the money. With this service, all i get for paying them increasing obnoxious amounts is a big fuck you.

    Google really just forgot that without the people on their platform, YT is worthless

      I’d pay for youtube if I wouldn’t also be exposed to tracking, however I much prefer supporting creators directly. IMO the platform should be paid-only and have a revenue-share system akin to Nebula. Fuck ads.

        I wish more creators were on nebula. I would like to support them on patron but $5+ a month per channel adds up really quickly.

      Five bucks a month, no ads, I’d do it.

      This would be in an alternate universe where it stayed “no ads” and didn’t jump to $35/day two weeks after I sign up.
