I hate ads too. Would you consider paying for a service so it's user supported instead of ad supported? I do, pay for YouTube, Spotify, Hulu no ad tier. It gets old because it starts adding up. I'd rather pay for a user owned platform like a coop of some kind, but still, these things do cost money to run.
I won't pay for Youtube because they keep making their product worse and treating creators horribly.
I won't pay for YouTube because the executives are literally thousands of times wealthier than I am.
Why the fuck would I give money to people who are already obscenely rich?
I won't be shocked when they eventually get rid of this altogether. They shouldn't be shocked when I switch to 100% piracy when they do.
Fuck ads.
