    I wouldn’t object to paying if:

    1. Their pricing was more reasonable
    2. A fairer cut went to content creators
    3. They had something that actually qualified as a search function on their site
    4. They weren’t trying to bully everyone into paying

      I think the price is very fair if you split the family plan with others

      Also I think creators get a 55% cut for ad revenue which seems reasonable to me

        You’re joking, right? Creators make the whole video, Youtube only has to serve it. Also, not all creators get money from ads, so Youtube gets to STEAL from the little guys.

          You realize that serving the video is incredibly expensive right? There’s a reason Lemmy doesn’t support video hosting

          They also pay for hosting the thousands of videos from “little guys” that no one will watch
