Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium (startrek.website)

Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

I think there always will be free access to information in some form but video hosting specifically is simply too expensive when it grows to the size of YouTube. If you aren't paying for something and it isn't run by donations, you're likely paying it with your personal info or time. I personally wouldn't mind paying for a service like YouTube but the content I watch are simply nowhere else to find so piped is the closest thing I have now.

I pay for YouTube, so you won't find disagreement from me. Optional paid versions are okay to me, though I do wish ads weren't just so awful (scams, viruses, etc)
