The simple fact is that video hosting is incredibly expensive. Do you still want information on the internet to be freely shareable via video? Ads are the price.


> Do you still want information on the internet to be freely shareable via video?

Yes. And I'm willing to pay for it in taxes, or directly to creators and hosts, but I'm not going to pay Google after the massive amounts of abuse and anti-competitive behaviors. I will never pay Google.

> Ads are the price.

I don't accept that. Ads as "funding" for "free" content is a myth.
