> Then, should we pay to get rid of ads or not? Two opposite opinions:
> 1) paying YouTube support creators
> 2) paying YouTube rewards the "shitification" of the platform
I have a third opinion. I expect that if enough people pay Google, they will remove the free service altogether, add ads to the paid service, and perhaps introduce a new, more expensive ad free tier. Paying them not only rewards the enshitification, it encourages the next step.
