I’m not paying for YouTube. It’s algorithm sucks, it routinely sells your personal data, and virtually none of the money you spend goes to its creators–that YouTube pretends otherwise is repulsive. How did we get in the situation where we’re being asked to pay more and more for worse and worse services? I’m not gonna be a part of it.
I’ll never be okay with ads *on social media. They’re invasive and serve no purpose. I know the psychology behind it but if you’re the type of person to buy something just because you saw an ad I think you need mental help.
*Edited for clarity. I know some advertising is necessary but not ads on social media
You’re not wrong like I said I know the psychology behind it I suppose I meant the types of online advertisements YouTube uses for example. It’s one thing to advertise new products. It’s another thing entirely to watch another ad about banking or shit like that.

I’d be fine with ads and even paying if the creators weren’t treated like trash and the number of ads weren’t ridiculously obtrusive.
It’s hard to imagine that situation wouldn’t always lead us here. The advertiser-centric internet has got to go.
Unfortunately that’s always the end result as never ending greed will always lead companies there

Now that part is objectively incorrect

Yea, their algorithm has gotten really bad for me. The new to you tag is a little better but it’s still not great.
