    Ahh. So you’re fine with all the ads on YouTube? Two and a half minutes of commercials every 8 minutes on streaming services? Unblockable ads on websites?

      I block all ads from all sites on the internet.

      I pay money to the fediverse hosting foundation because hosting software costs money. I pay creators to create content because creating content costs them time and if they are going to do that thing, they need money.

      No, but if you DON’T want ads then they need to get money from somewhere?

      I RARELY use YouTube

      No, that’s why I pay for YouTube too. If I wouldn’t use it as much that the price is worth it, I would likely not use it at all (besides the irregular link thrown over my fence ever once in a while).

          I thinks it’s all the people and companies uploading thousands of hours of video every second. I’m pretty sure that’s the reason for the ads.
