    OTA TV: with ads

    OTA TV: if you record you are pirating

    Cable TV: you pay a fortune to have no ads!

    Cable TV: now with extra premium stuff!

    Cable TV: now with ads!

    Cable TV: if you record, you’ll be prosecuted

    Cable TV: pray we do not alter the deal further

    Cable TV: why is everyone moving away from Cable TV?

    Youtube: your own videos!

    Youtube: your own videos are actually ours

    Youtube: our videos with ads!

    Youtube: now pay a fortune to remove ads!

    Youtube: pray we do not alter the deal further

    Youtube: if you download or remove ads you’ll be banned

    This isn’t the pattern you’re looking for. Move along.

      Oh, we’ll see at that point I would just like stop paying for it. That’s how I deal with services that no longer meet my expectations.

          Kind of, people are not quitting YouTube, I’m off them are still using it, but bitching that their free video streaming service needs to get paid.

          They are still using it and costing YouTube money in aggregate

            The poor company only making $31.5 Billion a year has to eat the streaming cost for someone using as ad blocker? Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the billionaires?!

              Oh no won’t someone please think of the people so entitled they believe they should get everything for free.

              Like, I just don’t understand the thought process behind people like you.

              Do you ask for free everything else?

                It’s not about wanting everything for free, it’s about billionaires asking for more all the time. I can’t find any information about the costs of running YouTube, but it’s definitely making a profit. It’s making over 30 billion in ad revenue and 15 billion from subscriptions. And somehow that’s not enough and they need more.

                I don’t understand why people feel the need to defend billionaires and their corporations out of all the things to spend your time on…
