If they are 100% transparent in regard to where the money goes, I’m in. The problem with something like youtube premium is not that it’s unaffordable to the majority of users. It’s that at this point you have to assume that they don’t need the subscription fee to cover their costs, but to shove that money up some CEOs or shareholders asses. Yeah that’s not gonna happen unless they force me to and even then I’d think twice about if I really need that service.
I unsubscribed when they killed account sharing and planned to subscribe just for one or two months per year to binge every show I like… but I may not subscribe again for a long time now, considering that these guys take their villain role very seriously, I mean it’s really hard to not dislike them right now. They’re like the Cersei Lannister of streaming services
Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think I’ve read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. You’d think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, let’s increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless they’re testing how far they can go
No it’s not. If an ad break comes up on tv and to avoid them you go for a pee or get some snacks, no sane person would call that piracy. It’s pretty much the same with youtube, I could just leave the room while an ad plays. Adblock just automates the task of not watching the ad.
Pretty much every sports game does not involve violence and people still rage like there’s no tomorrow. I’m pretty sure people will throw slurs at you over a game of yahtzee or something, as long as it’s online and there’s a ladder/ranks
“Can’t get worse at this point, eh?” Amazon: hold my beer
You’re not wrong but on the other hand if you only have morals if it’s easy then I’d say your morals ain’t worth shit
May be worth the 3 bucks if the freevee stuff is ad free too then. Otherwise they can go f themselves.
well, you call it dystopia, they call it brainstorming :P
