It's actually an attention/eyeball economy. It's literally called that in certain contexts.

@cmconseils
Deutsche Telekom charges consumers for broadband access and then also charges content providers for bandwidth to their customers. If you're the platform, nobody can afford not to do business there.

@niavy @cmconseils not sure what that is, I use YouTube too much, but not as a creator

@hardindr
Newpipe is basically YouTube Premium for free.

@niavy @cmconseils hmm, okay…

[redsad@ohai.social]

@cmconseils I absolutely will not pay them

@murderbotbot murderbotbot, do you respond to any message?

[centretowner@urbanists.social]

@cmconseils at least it's a step up from newspapers, where you have to pay just for the privilege of seeing the ads! (and occasionally some unsponsored content)

@cmconseils I don't mind. I just hate when I pay and still see ads. It is a company after all with bills and to make profit. It wouldn't exist without profit. I run a Mastodon and peertube instance and if it wasn't for me putting in my own money it wouldn't exist as donations don't always cover the cost.

@iris I did everything I could think of to do, then finally let myself go on standby while I caught up on my serials.

@cmconseils You pay us to opt-out or we will throw you in the advertising derivatives market. This is enshitification 101 and it's been going on since soap operas were in black and white.

@cmconseils That’s a pretty common business model these days. As users, we’re partly responsible for it too. The only real way out would be to switch platforms or build new ones, but let’s be honest: that’s not going to happen anytime soon since people don’t change habits easily. In the meantime, we can just use the options mentioned here to avoid ads. A few more I've mentioned earlier https://social.linux.pizza/@wwwgem/116389523834889713

@cmconseils Not if you use Brave Browser.

It blocks them without any add-ons.

@cmconseils exactly

[commonst@social.vivaldi.net]

@cmconseils everything now... "you pay us but you still have to have ads!"

[timmaddog@mstdn.social]

@cmconseils
That's how for-profit businesses work, duh.
