    Then realize that YouTube was losing billions every year for over a decade, and that their current model is the only way it can be profitable for them 😅

      The unfortunate business model of the current tech world.

      And the only way to teach them to drop this BS is to migrate to a better thing as soon as the enshitification starts.

      I would’ve told you we shouldn’t have fallen into this trap to begin with, but that implies cooperation of the entire internet. And that ain’t happening.

      On the other hand, we can accept that this is how things are. We get years of free trial and pay for it in the next years. 13$/month is not an insane amount of money for the value provided. And it’s shared with creators in a transparent manner, so it’s not like they’re hording all of it either.
