      How so?

      • I enjoy so many cooking shows, tech nerds, and drag queens that post videos that make me happy on YouTube.
      • I watch on my tv primarily
      • I’m so so so happy to support the individual creators who pour their life and so much love into their work, premium pays them more per view than ad-supported views.
      • I share with some friends, and they share their logins with me. Overall, my monthly cost for video services is low.
      • Usenet everything else ;)

        Because YouTube is a shit company that fleeces all of the content creators they’d be nowhere without- while simultaneously giving the middle finger to everyone that uses their service.

        Yet amid all the whining and complaining about seemingly ALL of their business practices on a daily basis- we apparently have 100 million people willing to give them MORE money so they can continue abusing everyone that so much as even looks in their general direction.
