    Ya how dare people actually pay for a platform that hosts billions of videos and streams to billions of users essentially lag free and is actually decent and shares revenue with it’s content creators. /s

    Things cost money. You don’t have to be a corporate shill to not expect everything to be free, you just have to be an adult.

      I get that, but the vast majority of content creators seem to make their money with sponsorships or their own ads, so most of what google is doing is content distribution, not creation. Which makes the amount of money they want for that seem ridiculous when pretty much every other streaming service that produces high profile and expensive shows themselves is way cheaper.

      This feels like your supermarket requiring entrance fees in addition to you having to pay for stuff you actually buy.
