Só your solution is instead of charging the viewer charge who? The person that puts videos up?

Do you really think your anonymized user data is worth the 20 bucks/user the YouTube premium costs?

In your mind YouTube can just sell the data for the 2 billion users they have and instantly make 40 billion dollars a month from that?

If the data isn't worth it, why are these cunts stealing it?

[–] ayyndrew@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The data is only useful because they can use it to run ads

[–] Taringano@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Worth something, not 20 bucks per user per month.

They're "stealing" the data if they hacked another platform and got a hold of the data there.

You are literally using their website. You are giving them your data.

You want to stop them from "stealing" your data, stop using their services.
