Noooooooooo! The poor google ๐ข
their $412,378/s has been reduced to $412,367/s! ๐ญ ๐ญ
Yeah, they should provide thousands of gigiabits of video streaming to everyone for free. It's our right!
It's not for free. They use your data. Also most of these 'free' videos are made by enthusiasts.
Enthusiasts who want to earn money off the platform, yes.
Ah yes, because humans never want to share information, or show others something they've achieved or created. The only possible motivation could be money.
That's not what I'm saying, but these people choose to upload their content to YouTube specifically, so what's your point?
That's there's not really another platform to upload to that you can easily share long form video content on, for free? I don't understand your point now.
My point is that nothing is free. You can't have it both ways.
What? My initial point was people wanted to share things like information or creativity and youtube is one of the only viable places to upload too. I literally don't understand your points.
As a contributor who doesn't monetize videos, you don't speak for everyone.
