I just dislike people making arguments that are really about their entitlement and try to pass it off as something else.

you could make some fair points, that youtube is essentially a monopoly and that locking some educational content behind a pay/adwall is unfairly disadvantageous to people with less money, but nope, your problem is that:

Is our only other option to pay up, once again, the amount that they decided is a fair compensation and also keep increasing?

Seems that at the very least some way for the users to negotiate what they believe is fair is lacking in this matter.

“How dare they ask us for money, why don’t they ask us how much we want to pay? it’s so unfair, why don’t they just run their service for free??”

it’s a bit whingy, innit?

, then I dunno why you’re still at it.

I have covid so I have some free time to tire my brain out calling out whingy shit.
