IDK; I blame them.
YouTube has become part of the world's social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.
Frankly it should be publicly owned.
Well, that's not in YouTube's interest, so I don't know how you can blame them for not being publicly owned.
If it somehow magically becomes publicly owned, your bills/taxes will reflect that (as they do with TV in many countries, it just gets added to the monthly electricity bill, whether you use it or not).
We have that where I live already, and it's pretty damn good to have.
I don't blame them, I just want to eat their lunch without their consent.
Okay. I can dig a publicly owned YouTube.
Are you willing to spend your tax dollars hosting flat earth content?
Far right? Thinly disguised racism?
It’s ironic: but at least by paying based on what is watched, you give money to those you consume.
We can pay for it by eating just a few of the rich.
