    1. Companies don’t usually pay for ads that are not shown. Also whether and how much they pay can depend on if the ad is skipped or clicked. 

    2. Because YouTube doesn’t get the ad revenue when they don’t show you the ad… So you pay them in place of the advertiser… As long as people are using YouTube then it’s a win for YouTube.

    3. Youtube is selling time of your attention. You can either buy it yourself or advertisers will. Torres that quote that goes something like “If you’re not paying for it, YOU are the product”.

    4. You get YouTube music as well. No need for Spotify. Tutorials and howtos would be murder with ad eyeball cancer

      If you don’t pay for YouTube & don’t have any ad blocker,

      There’s a simple trick to skip publicity,

      1.open the video you wanna watch (ad will start)
      2.close the video & open it again
      3.repeat a third time & you should be able to watch your video without any ad.

    6. I don’t know how anyone watches YouTube videos without an adblocker. No way am I paying for any of this.

      Yes but companies pay less for each person that pays not to see ads. Still a racket though.

    8. There’s a mall near me that has an exotic car museum. People pay to store their cars there, then they charge people to come look at the cars.

    9. Do you think they are hosting a video sharing platform out of the kindness of their heart? They want to make money

      If you are using something for free then it’s not the product, *you* are.

      It’s the same as free to air tv. The whole thing is just a vehicle to get ads to you; they literally create tv content so that more viewers will watch and they can charge more to the advertisers for those time slots.

      I am a small time yt creator and I earn 99% from ads.
      But I guess I am ok if people are watching with adblock.
