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

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

Digital capitalism is already dead...

@cmconseils Youtube wins either way. Except when you don’t use YouTube or you download stuff using yt-dl in which case you get to see everything without ads and in this case you win.

@cmconseils We are in the wrong line of work!

No.

It pays 45% to 55% of the revenue *after YouTube has deducted its operating cost*.

That's a very different number

@nlarson830 @cmconseils @lisamelton sure. Still more than just ”pay to remove ads”.

I'm so old that I remember when our state first got Cable Television. The big feature was that we could all watch movies with no ads. Pretty soon it was you could watch movies with no ads on certain channels. Then it was if you paid extra for premium channels, you could watch certain movies without ads sometimes. That's when I got rid of Cable.
