TikTok is testing a subscription plan, costing $4.99 per month, that would remove ads from the short-format video content platform.

    Charge people to go ad-free. Keep increasing the sub price over time, then provide a lower cost version with minimal ads.

      Tiktok and YouTube are my only sources of entertainment. I’m okay paying for both.

      Especially since both allow for anyone to upload as much as they want without limits or fees. Hosting that much data isn’t cheap.

      Obviously the FOSS users will downvote me, as they believe everything should be free and unlimited.

          And Lemmy users think everything should be free, without ads, like bandwidth and storage are free.

          But I’m glad being fine with paying for my entertainment is defeatist. Go back to your torrents, poor boy.

            Agreed. Some people have this moronic attitude that everything comes for free.

              How is it a red flag to view content on two of the biggest websites?

              You’re a 🤡

                  Lemmy is great at making their own shit up.

                  Where did I say that’s my whole life? You’re insane.
