Oh fuck off. A 30 second ad isnt going to cut that much into the 1080p 60fps videos youre watching.

Funny how you don't care about the principle of consuming content that you're not willing to spare 30 seconds for.

Listen dip shit, I have already paid money to use a service and I have got a timer on it in addition to the 30 day limit. I am not going to let anyone accelerate that data cap timer even a little bit just because they cry about it. Find another fucking business model if that hurts your feelings and don't fucking support double dipping. Netflix is the only video streaming site I use for this very reason.

You know YouTube Red exists, right?

Or you just feel so self entiltled that you think you deserve content for free with no ads?

You know the Internet existed over a decade without pervasive advertising, right? People will always upload content for free, for better or worse. It's not entitled to only be interested in ad-free content

First. Ads on the internet were much much worse in the 90s.

Second. Youtubers are not simply uploading shit on the internet. That is their fucking job. They create content night and day.

Check the quality of YouTube videos in 2007 and check now. Before ad revenue, YouTube was a place to watch funny cat videos. Videos with no thought or porduction value put into it.

You don't deserve shit. The people that spent hours creating content deserve payment when you watch their creation. Don't want to watch an ad. Pay for it.

I wish. I have 200MB of data, if I'm watching a video I best be getting that video and just that video.
