[QUOTE="Heisen, post: 2490971, member: 103922"] I understand, but this is youtube, very integral part of our daily life. As a business obviously they want more profit every year and its somewhat justifiable, the amount of videos youtube have and they keep on increasing, the server cost and what not must be insane. But usually in these scenarios if something goes subscription based, what's the first thing people do? They go to open source stuff, but there is nothing in the open source space in this case, there is odysee, but no one uses that, cause it's not up to the level. People want their service but they don't want their rules and there is no alternative. Running ad block is probably not an ethical thing to do, but a script kiddy wouldn't care, because they have all the time in the world to keep fighting with the ads. People who have less time should just pay and move on in this case. If it was some news website that went pay per page, nobody would care cause there are many other sites. But youtube is completely different ball game. Google has all the cards. [/QUOTE]
