    I don’t care if there’s an alternative. You’re not obligated to watch YouTube. It’s not a job.

    You can walk away.

      Google constantly puts Youtube ads at the top of searches for information! Countless people put their information on Youtube in the form of videos! Tutorials get put on Youtube as a matter of course! There’s a trove of old media on Youtube that can’t be accessed any other way! Congratulations, you’ve won the award for the most thoughtlessly dismissive person on the internet today.

        Be sure to keep whining about their practices while supporting them to continue with it.

        It’s funny from where I sit.

          how do we support it? how, when we don’t upload any content, we only give them server load instead of money, and don’t even increase the view count? how? if anything this is a loss for them, but not a gain that’s for sure

            So you don’t know how watching YouTube videos equate to profit for YouTube?

            Best you learn how that works before we continue this discussion further.
