I am not
Why would you want content other people pick?
Even if youtube disappeared today, there would be more "content" available in the world than I could ever consume.

If you're finding yourself blocked amoungst MOST social networks, you might consider your tone and language. You've got to be posting pretty vile stuff to get banned from most social networks.
I think he's a drug dealer.
Ad hominem doesn't unmake the validity of their point.

>Maybe they should focus on improving their frontend They have. Do you know how many ads they can stuff into people's faces now? Youtube is unbearable without ablock. If there are people who are able to watch it like that, then it shows just how long you can boil the proverbial frog.
Youtube premium is insanely good value for money if you're at all a regular Youtube user. And content creators get paid significantly more for Premium views than ad supported views.

I'm curious how that works. After all, there's still only $14 per Premium user per month to go around.

Paying for YT premium is even better. No ads and you support the content creators
I hear this a lot, and would love to see some figures.
If I'm a heavy YT Premium user, is it possible for my views to be worth less than ad-generated views?

Apple users are likes AOL users of yesteryear. Firefox users are like freenet users. AOL users have more money but are less techie. Firefox users are more techie but broke.
Sure but let's see average user data first before making these claims. Aren't Apple products popular among kids? Kids are usually poor and would bring the wealth average down.
But kids often have parents who aren't poor. IIRC children's toys are a pretty profitable and segment.

The point is wealth per user, not potential wealth per user. Parents don't always buy their kids the same high grade devices that they use.

#97One day all your online accounts could be blocked with the message: Your account is blocked. This helps protecting the community. In my case this kinda happened with most social networks on which my accounts are suspended. Yes my opinion is not default. But thats the issue.
Yeah, welcome to cloud feudalism (not a concept I invented). Just like the a serf in feudal lordships of old times, the lord can decide anything and you have to suffer the consequences. Maybe if you scream loud enough they'll hear you, but the castle decides, the henchmen execute and they don't listen to your protests.

#98streissand effect here would be nice i suppose.
on another note, i am observing that some alternative frontend are now openly allowing its users to directly get the video data from youtube servers, which might be flying near the sun a bit too much.

Some of those people are in it for the money. Your interest won't matter to them.
Their interest doesn't matter to me. I don't watch ads.
It should because you watch their content. What they decide matters to you.
Right now what you like doesn't matter. You are a ghost roaming.

I will continue to roam. When I don't enjoy content, I won't watch.
But I won't watch ads.
