2 months agoWhy are video uploading sites supposed to be free? It costs money to build and maintain them, especially at a scale “for the masses”.
Honestly, I’d prefer it if YouTube had just been a subscription you paid for. Better money for the creators, and Google would have had less incentive to harvest every piece of possible personal data about their users to give to advertisers.
If you see a news article saying “X Sensational Thing has become a trend”, odds are is a gross exaggeration to the point of complete fabrication, and you fell for it.
