A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I have it and enjoy it. It pays the creators and I don't see ads. So don't speak for me, please. Also, you need a reality check on what actually matters in life.
It's crazy how people advocate for a free (as in freedom) internet with as much privacy as you want, then in the same breath tell you how they're entitled to content without paying.
A lot of channels exist as a natural extension of an already existing business. I'm not going to support Google and the mass dregs that create clickbait garbage and predatory content that takes advantage of the algorithm in order to make as much money from ads as possible.
Not all content deserves to be monetized. Google isn't entitled to make money by simply hosting reaction videos and hyperbolic political commentary.
"simply hosting"
You sir don't have the slightest idea of what an immense operation "simply hosting" those videos is.
I also don't gaf. If YouTube wants to host a pile of garbage then that's on them. I'm not paying for it.
I don't know what that means
Then pay and show Google that their business model needs to change. If you pay, then their incentive is not to maximize watch time, which is probably why you have a lot of clickbait trash. Or don't watch YouTube.
And you aren't entitled to watch videos without ads and without paying. Choose one.
I'll watch the videos I want to watch without watching ads and without paying and no amount of fuckery is going to stop me.
Fine just know that this is entitled behavior and you're just perpetuating the ad-block ad-block-redtector rat race.
Just know that creating and hosting content and expecting to be paid for it is entitled behavior. It's no different than panhandling.
This just in: man thinks storage, computing power, and bandwidth is free!
I do the same. It's the main way I watch tv. Not just to support the content creators, but also as a way to aggregate all my "mainstream" interests in one place. From one app on my TV I can catch up on sports highlights, late night comedy clips, and my favorite music festivals, back to back ad free. And that was just last night
Same, the value I get from it through YouTube Music is significant. It's also barely more expensive than Spotify in my region so it's a no-brainer.
Though I still use ReVanced to get SponsorBlock and other UI fixes.
Yeah, YouTube has issues (dislike removal, demonetization policies, etc) but premium is not as bad as people treat it.
I would actually be even more bullish on it if premium disregarded any demonetization of videos (edit: in terms of paying creators for the view)
Edit: also I would wish any data collected from premium users is limited to improving the user experience and not for improving ads
True. I think the only "data" they get from us for that purpose are their exclusive beta features, and even that is voluntary and not very common
No, it isnt pays. You pay to google with your data, and your money too. And later you will pay in same way for gmail, search, etc... shearing <--🐑🐑🐑🐑
