Well, then don’t go on YouTube, or use peer tube. You are trading 30 seconds of your time for:
- creators making the thing you so desperately want to watch
- disk space to store it
- bandwidth to send it around the world
- compute to transcode it and process it
- real estate and security for the premises
- power for the datacenter
- ac to cool the servers
- wages of workers to maintain that whole infrastructure
- wages of devs for the app
- yes, profits for the company
Of course, you can decide to not pay and steal it instead, just don’t act like you are morally entitled to do it.

Am I on Reddit again?
Nah, I’d rather watch YouTube. Ad free, too.
I would agree back in like 2010 but YouTube ads got so cancerous over the years that I won’t give them money (Premium) out of principle until literally nothing works anymore.
use PeerTube
lmao
You’re welcome then (since my fees subsidize your watching).
I am grateful mylord
Rejoice!
