The old „but if we dont pay them all our money they might stahp!“

They wont.

Do you know how I know? Because youtube (google) is a predatory monopolist and they will always find ways to take as much as they can.

I‘m not rossmans biggest fan but he seems to have understood that its time to take off the kiddie gloves. I blocked everything and anything resembling youtube making money off me, I dont watch youtube content if I can help it and I dont upload anymore. I do upload and watch regularly in the fediverse and I‘m telling everyone to do the same.

I do my duty as a citizen of this planet so that we hopefully wont end up in some cyberpunk-like hellscape at some point. I encourage you to help.
