Full market saturation. They aren’t getting new customers, especially from that ad blocking I won’t pay for shit crowd. They’ll probably pull at least a few customers up a tier, and they’ll reduce compute costs booting the babies who won’t pay or watch ads.
It’s just common sense business. That’s how you make money.
There are two ways that would happen. One is with IP bans, and even then, there are still ways around it. And if they start doing that, they’ll start to cut off legitimate users with dynamic IP addresses that change often. The other is by dropping ad supported services completely and moving to a fully paid model. And I doubt they have enough people who give enough of a shit to start giving YouTube actual money for the bullshit that’s on there.
Like I said, they lost the game before they started. They will never shake off the freeloaders without seriously kneecapping their company.
Posted on a forum thread removed about how folks are not going to use the service. The delusional logic here is way to high.
I think they are doing just fine booting the freeloaders. Even if they push you all to steal via piped that basically a free cache. Mission accomplished.
You shitpost on the internet acting like you and Google are buddies and you’re ok with your data being collected because you “understand how to make money and find value in youtube.”
I’ll access all the same content and not be ttracked. Luckily chumps like you will keep on clicking those ads and it’ll be too much of a headache stopping people like me from blocking them.
Yup. Thatsthepoint.jpg. See what you did there? You don’t find value, you don’t want to pay, and you stopped. Imagine that. Instead of removed to the void incessantly you summoned up some will power and stopped using the service.
Oh I’m not removed, I’m enjoying an ad free YouTube without paying, while I do see value in the service, I don’t have money just laying around to throw ever so willingly at it, while I could spend it on a meal or two.
If I can get what I need for free then I’ll do it, if I can’t then I’ll move to something else.
Nah, my house is probably only 450k in that equation. A nice 2300 sq ft ranch with partially finished basement. The rest is in investments and small business.

I’m so sorry I understand how to make money and still find value in YouTube.
[X] press to doubt.

I don’t get the ads, I pay 🤣
Well great, I neither pay nor do I watch the ads, I’ll save my 12$ a month elsewhere

Now imagine that.
What’s your net worth?
Approaching 2M +/- 100k actually. I’m fairly well off, not that it has anything to do with here.
Cool, so you’re saying you own a house?
Nah, my house is probably only 450k in that equation. A nice 2300 sq ft ranch with partially finished basement. The rest is in investments and small business.
What’s your approximate age?
Let’s call it 40
