Yeah, they should provide thousands of gigiabits of video streaming to everyone for free. It’s our right!

It’s not for free. They use your data. Also most of these ‘free’ videos are made by enthusiasts.

Most of what they use your data for is to serve you ads. If you’re blocking ads, that data isn’t all that valuable.

Enthusiasts who want to earn money off the platform, yes.

Big platforms tend to forget they’re big because they’re free. It’s our duty to remind them.

I wish the product was somewhat good too. Piped has features that even YT Premium users don’t have.

You know they wouldn’t get paid if nobody watched the ads. And if they didn’t get paid they wouldn’t have any reason to pay to run the site. Explaining that a corporation will not run a site like YouTube for free (which it wouldn’t even be, it costs a lot of money to run) if they weren’t getting paid. Quit attacking other users simply for pointing out facts. It’s beneath you (I think)
