Private park, where you can come in if you watch the bilboards. And I’m not looking at your bilboards. I’m sorry but I just won’t look at them like lol
Geez use a little imagination, public city parks aren’t the only parks
Your analogy falls apart like wet toilet paper. Private highways require tolls, a small contribution to the maintenance of the road. Renting a car, house, etc. The concept of letting people use something expensive for a small nominal fee is the very foundation of our society and on the internet, that fee can be pushed to advertisers if you don’t want to cough it up. Block the advertisers, you’re stealing the service, which comes with a fine or jail time. Since we can’t do that, want to know the alternative?
Blocking adblockers. Hulu and Twitch already do it. How long before they remake their player to do the same? You don’t get it. The mega corporation always gets paid and they will damn sure sink the platform if they can’t.
You can’t compare toll roads, this would be like a road paid for by billboards and you agree to look at the billboards if you want to use it. And no, I’m not looking at the billboards.
If you they didn’t want me to “steal” (lol) their bandwidth, they should have gates or whatever in it. Until then, I’m cruising through
Toll roads are a perfect example actually. You need it, alternatives are inconvenient, you have the ability to pay and drive through or you can choose not to. They just don’t have the advertiser workaround. It’s pay or fuck off.
Your entitled attitude is what’s going to get us to a point where premium will be required to watch videos. Adblockers only work because they let them. You’ll have a rude awakening soon.
Alternate caption: “You guys wanna stop stealing our server bandwidth?”
The moment Google stops stealing my data I might consider using YouTube premium
Legislation is stopping them, hence increasing upfront cost to offset

Okay, so how’s that Premium consideration going?
Hard to say they’re stealing when you give consent by agreeing to their ToS
lol stealing
Browsers that block data, Adblockers that block ad revenue, no interest in a subscription.
You give nothing, take everything, then act entitled to do so. Yeah, stealing is an apt word for it. At least own what you are.
lol hell yeah, this is a fucking stick-up
A park is funded by the city. The city is funded by non-negotiable taxes.
You’re new to this, aren’t you?
