This is a nice example of capitalism shitting things up.
Youtube is in many ways the inferior product for this, but it can make money so that’s where people go.
If more people had more money (instead of most of it accumulating in the hands of a few assholes), some sort of “pay what you want” model might work. But with so many people with zero or negative savings, that doesn’t seem viable.
Also, side note, I’d be less likely to block ads if they were contextual rather than targeted. Targeted ads should be illegal. but if you want to put car ads on the need for speed wiki, fine. You don’t need to know who I am for that. That’s how tv, print, radio, billboards, and so on worked for generations.
