If everyone was like you, YouTube wouldn’t exist and all those creators wouldn’t be able to do what they do.
Things have costs. You thinking that you’re entitled to people’s labor for free makes you selfish and entitled, not smart.
“People who actually pay for food when it’s possible to just shoplift from grocery stores or dine and dash are idiots!”
Obviously digital content isn’t directly analogous to physical theft, but go ask your favorite creators if they’d be okay with all their revenue going to zero.
I almost never watch YouTube on my computer and it is almost always used on my TVs by my family. YouTube premium is probably the most useful streaming sub I have.
YouTube is the largest repository of information and entertainment in the world and it isn’t cheap to run. I also want to support the small creators that I watch so that it remains a viable income stream and they keep serving me content I consume.
Fuck a price hike and fuck corpo google shit but this is still a steal for my personal watching habits
Literally same - but hosting the world’s largest “free” library of content costs someone money and if I want to keep having access to that, someone has to foot the bill to pay the content creators and Google’s cost for hosting - so I’m happy to subsidize your needs

That requires you to have android TV. I don’t have enough HDMI ports to go around to add another device just for watching Youtube.

That’s a wide brush you’re painting with.
