I'm not paying to give money to Google, I'm paying for no ads on any devices (including my NVIDIA Shield) and more importantly half of the fee goes to the creators I watch.
I'm perfectly happy stealing from billion dollar corporations.
I'm not happy stealing from small businesses.
If I'm blocking ads and not paying for premium, the channels I watch make absolutely nothing on my view. It doesn't sit right with me to consume content without giving anything in return. Paying for premium, which distributes half of what I pay to the creators I watch, fulfills that well enough that I'm fine paying for it. YouTube Music is just a bonus.
You watching it for free is not only taking money from Google but taking money from the channels you watch. Do whatever you want, I don't care, but at least understand the consequences of your actions. I for one don't like the idea of doing it, myself.
Why wouldn't I pay for something that I enjoy? I am fully aware of the cost of adblock and piracy, and I've decided that if I'm going to use adblock, then I'm going to pay for services I legitimately enjoy. I don't bother with one-off services or things I rarely use, but I'm perfectly fine paying for things. I'm not hurting for cash.
Making enough money to live and also expecting everything for free is just greed.
What? No, hot water is bad because people are fragile. I was being serious; this isn't some jab, it's just life
It's barely coffee, it's literally burnt. I'm comparing anything not burnt to anything burnt. It just so happens I used homemade as an alternative.
Damn paying $15 for a service that is almost the sole source of my daily entertainment, crazy
It's not difficult. I like thing. I pay for thing so thing sticks around.
It's all burnt dark roast beans. Gotta get the Good Shit™ by grinding your own beans, it's a whole different world
Humans being fragile creatures is how
212° is the boiling point of water
I can almost guarantee you nobody is drinking 200° coffee. Hell, not even 160°. Closer to 140° is where it gets bearable without burning your mouth, but that's still pushing it
My first "real" job (I used to work at McD's and Walmart, barely three months each) was 120k a year as a software engineer. I left that job for 200k within six months and here I happily stay
Not your problem, but you're directly responsible for making sure they get less of it
