I was stuck on a problem for six months, and after figuring that out I banged it out in an afternoon. If anything you get stuck for even longer
You know you could just subscribe to remove them anyways right? I don't see the difference here
Donations don't work by themselves. Pretty much ever.
Ad based models aren't great, but the alternative is subscription based. And we know exactly what the internet feels about that. Look at the amount of people here in this thread given that exact choice and refusing to pay
You adding views to some random video absolutely does not offset the cost of your usage through ads. Ads can make a surprising amount of money for a platform (upwards of 4 or 5 dollars a month per free user). Based on YouTube removing premium Lite, I think it's actually very safe to assume that the consumption of free users is around that, so approximately $7 per month on average. Do you honestly think this would offset that cost in any universe?
It's okay to want stuff for free. Just make sure you fully understand the consequences and don't try to play it off like you're the good guy.
Okay, let's get rid of all ads and move to subscriptions across the entire internet. What a fantastic idea.
Whether you like their actions or not, they still have bills to pay
Gotta pay the bills somehow
"I'll put in enough ads to actually support your usage habits and you can pay if you want to not deal with them"
