Fat is a type of crazy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I pay for youtube $15 a month. I did hesitate at first but I watch it a lot and well worth it. Pay $8 for Netflix. No complaints. Pay $40 a month for Foxtel in Australia. Now that is a waste but it has some things like recording and access to good aps and has good news and some other stuff so keep it for now. I am in Australia. Posting here because. Edited October 5, 2023 by Fat is a type of crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool Lou Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) It's amazing how many people, completely unreasonably, expect their entertainment to be provided free of charge. Edited October 5, 2023 by Liverpool Lou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikmar Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 so -- you re stopping Youtube and going to read books. In a nutshell! things like the music i love - including Vivaldi (Four Seasons) - i tend to download - for free - from a music browser. No need for annoying ad breaks!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad if that is beyond your means but B159 per month is dirt cheap to get rid of the annoyance completely. It's good, not sad. UTUBE is the new boob tube. Google's plan to increase revenue through ads and storage subscriptions on me will fail miserably. Truth be told, I waste too many hours on UTUBE. What might I use an extra 10 hours per week for? Certainly not posting topics on TV. No. I'm thinking about building a radio telescope in my yard. Sort of like a mini SETI. OR, I could set up a HAM Radio station and talk to the North Koreans. 10 hours per week is enough time to do almost anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download the videos for free or you can splash out on a ‘premium’ subscription for as little as 55 baht a month if YouTube is a useful resource to you. But so far I don’t see any ads anyway, so no need to panic nor overdramatise… I don't get ads when I view YouTube on my tablet or PC, but I get plenty when I watch it on the Android Smart TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarius Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Your choices of reading and music are unusual to say the least. Philip Roth isn't any particularly memorable read, and Vivaldi operas are again not exactly the top of the heap. Anyone who writes almost 100 operas, most of them are trash and the fact that the vast n=majority off his output is lost means it wasn't worth copying.

GammaGlobulin Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 As I say, there is NO WAY I will pay for UTUBE. Google KEEPS most of the money, and shares very little with CREATORS. Also, there are many better ways for creators to be paid by viewers, rather than ad revenue. Also, many of the UTUBE stuff I watch has been "defunded" And, Google stuffs videos with TOO MANY ads per few, anyway. So, what about this alternative? Ever tried it? https://freetubeapp.io/ Or, has this already been mentioned by someone. I still think I should not watch UTUBE, but if I do, then I will not watch ads. IF the ads UTUBE showed to me were interesting and useful to me, then I would obviously watch the ads. BUT, Google STILL does not know how to create ads that I would be grateful to watch. Google also does not yet know what I like, or what I would be willing to buy. Google SAYS it knows what I like, what I dream about at night, and when I will have a baby, but actually they do not. What a load of Hot Wind, is Google. Bunch of Blowhards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confuscious Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I agree with you on the ADS point. But not only YouTube. It's becoming a pest everywhere and the ADS are becoming more and more annoying by the day. Now, Google has found a new type of AD which pops-up in front of the button which need to be pushed causing an accidental pust on the AD. ASEANNOW seems happy to use this kind of AD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the content makers work for free and not get paid for their job ? Are you a free loader who wants everything for free and doesn't like paying for things ? Youtube has always been free! They've introduced ads a couple of years ago through which we will have to sit now, but it's still free. You can choose to get rid of the ads by paying a monthly fee, but that's a choice, not a must.

Bobthegimp Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Does YouTube have advertisements? Somebody also mentioned pop ups on this site. I've never seen either. People are welcome to pay as much or watch as many ads as they want if it makes them feel better about their entertainment choices, just know that if paying for what everyone else gets for free isn't your bag there are browsers that block the annoying drivel so you can enjoy the content without interruption or getting a bill at the end of the month. Brave is my choice of browser, but there must be others. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/free_rider_problem.asp I couldn't find anything on investopedia about Gabor's Theory of the LDOP (lame dupe overpayer) though, so perhaps an economist will drop into the thread and explain it for the laypeople.
