        In many ways, yes absolutely. By being a mindless consumer “just buying a product”, you leave it up to the balancing of the economy to determine if that is a wise decision or not.

        Last I checked, giving a rich person even more money is always a stupid move.

          I’m not a mindless consumer (aka sheeple) for making a decision someone else doesn’t approve of.

          The alternatives to YouTube Premium are

          • Ads: won’t happen

          • Ad-Block: won’t work (anymore)

          • no YouTube: there are no great free or cheaper alternatives

            The end of YouTube would not be a terrible outcome. Instead of a worldwide monopoly on DIY video, new and perhaps less evil options would have a chance.
