Oh look! This shit again. Lemmy is becoming more repetitive than 4chan

[–] sugartits@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

be me.

reading lemmy

see yet again that YouTube is blocking ads

see the entitlement in the comments that seem to think YouTube should be both free of ads and free to use and that Google should subsidize it for some reason

post my copy-paste comment reiterating that YouTube is a business and not a charity

see comments from idiots that attack the commenter instead of actually trying to argue against the point or come up with any sane solution or any attempt to advance the conversation

realise people just want the labour of others for free

See you again next week, fren.

It's mostly that the multi billion dollar profit organisation didn't need to do this. Where does that money go? Even though it's over the back of the labour and time of both the content creators and people watching.

Google is doing 60 billion dollar profit fine. Thanks. And not paying proper tax either, lol. It's pure extraction of labour value.

Get mad at that.

You mean people shouldn't chase that sweet, sweet fake internet score?
