People are installing and uninstalling ad blockers in record high numbers as a result of YouTube's anti-ad blocking efforts.

    I completely agree the price is far too high.

    I actually do subscribe but only because I get a deal through my mobile network that, long story short, cuts the price by two thirds.

    I can’t understand their pricing policy at all. And they’re doing a terrible job at explaining their cost basis if it’s actually what it costs to serve video to us (highly doubt it).

      Linus Tech Tips did a nice video on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDsJJRNXjYI

      But it should not be done by LTT, but by Google.

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
