    I’ll look forward to reading this yet again next week, alongside all the entitlement in the comments section that seem to think running YouTube is free and recommending trash alternatives which have less than 1% of YouTube’s content and don’t even work.

    See you next week!

      Google is a multi trillion dollar company. They can afford to run youtube at a loss for decades, if not centuries to come.

      They don’t want to because they are greedy and “need” to grow their profits yearly.

      Get the fuck out of here with your bullshit ass shilling for a corporate entity that would kill you if it was profitable enough.

        Not to mention they were fine without ads and forcing content creators to spew the whole “like and subscribe or else the algorithm will hunt me down” bullshit. This is all because of corporate greed, it’s so disgusting. They just want to get on the subscription gravy train because it lets them have their cake and eat it too, meanwhile content creators are left out in the cold even though they’re the only reason people still use YT at this point.
