Pay for YouTube. It’s worth it.

When will YouTube pay me for watching ads?

The payments will increase until we get ads with them

The payments and ads will increase until morale improves

It's so expensive. I have multiple people in the house, and I already pay for music with Apple. It's a big price to just get no ads and nothing else.

If only YouTube gave the creators a reasonable share.

From my knowledge a lot of YouTubers get paid by advertisers and they don't even let the viewers know.

The single view is not much worth - I estimate the streaming costs are quite high (think of all the bandwith you need for 4k/8k streaming with low latency).

Sadly I couldn't find numbers for YT profit.

I remember 2004, when ads on the web were incredibly annoying.

There was (loud) sound, and half the information was buried under ads for certain pages.

Me being a teenager back then, decided I've had enough after a late night gaming session with friends ended with a stupid website screaming in my ear to buy a new car.

I installed an ad blocker and since then my web experience is (mostly) ad free.

When I see ads I immediately know what NOT to buy. I feel I've already paid with my lifetime, so I am not going to add (haha) money on top

I would if they didn't datamine me so hard. simple as.

Also i get to chose what runs on my machines, not them.

Wait, now that i think about it i wouldn't. I would rather give that money directly to few creators i watch, instead of them getting 0.01% of that.

I wonder what could happen should they paywall it instead.

How many would they continue using it, 5%? ~20% max the most?

If you've been paying attention to the industry you'd know we're going to have ads on the paid tier also - Netflix - Hulu - Prime (coming)

If you've been paying attention to the industry you'd know driving customers to bit torrent is suicidal.
