I swear, the current protests have shined a very odd light on the average commenting Redditor, they want

* The website to be free

* The API to be cheap

* The ability to use a 3rd party app that does not track, advertise, or monetize you in any way

* VCs to continue to pour hundreds of millions of dollars to run the site and never ask for an ROI

Good luck kids

That's just the average internet user. They want something for nothing and often get it.

If you do ask for a few dollars a month you have to provide a ton of perceived value. That's despite the fact that they would spend it on snacks without hesitation.

Look at the vitriol that YouTube premium gets. I get it there are a lot of people that know how to have an ad free YouTube without paying. I don't like that some basic app features like background video playing are locked behind premium.

But at the end of the day the I am sure that for a large portion of people complaining they spent the majority of their video watching time watching YouTube. If it's not worth it to you to pay the equivalent of a big mac meal month to get rid of ads that's fine but don't act all morally superior to those that do.
