This will be YouTube in 2025 - Lemmy.World

This will be the death of YouTube for me. I pay for YouTube premium so this day may never come for me.
You never know, they might produce a YouTube Premium Plus plan or something.
Again it would be dead to me if it happened. I wouldn’t pay more for what I get now.
You never know, streaming happened like that
And that’s why I don’t pay for steaming services, I buy DVDs and put them on my server. Don’t ask me what happens when I can’t buy a DVD/blueray.
Empty words, you would pay them whatever they demand of you, and you know it.
Nah, I have my limits. I have a movie server and most of my favorite shows, I’m gonna be fine.
What about 1 BILLION DOLLARS ?
Like how Disneyworld did.
That didn’t keep Amazon from adding ads to the paid version of Prime and making a higher paid tier. How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?

And when that happened I stoped watching prime and just put on my eye patch & tricorn 🏴‍☠️…

Though I’m still paying for the content I just watch it differently than intended 🤷‍♂️

Seeks like a bunch of us chose to do the same. These companies actually believe there is no end to what they think they’re entitled .

How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?

The correct question is actually “when will Google implement the same?” Because this is a “when will it happen” question, not a “will it happen” question.

There’s dozens of us. Dozens!

I pay for YouTube premium

Not as bad as paying for Twitter, but close.

The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don’t really watch regular TV.

supposedly creators I watch get paid

I mean, that’s why I’m on Patreon. But fuck YouTube.

Yeah, I know it’s not an excuse but I’m lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I’ve heard it even pays out if it’s demonetized (don’t take my word on that one though.)

I know it’s not an excuse

I mean, your heart is in the right place. YouTube’s just isn’t.
