I can't put those add-on's/apps onto my TV tho.

If everyone was like you, YouTube wouldn't exist and all those creators wouldn't be able to do what they do.

Things have costs. You thinking that you're entitled to people's labor for free makes you selfish and entitled, not smart.

"People who actually pay for food when it's possible to just shoplift from grocery stores or dine and dash are idiots!"

Obviously digital content isn't directly analogous to physical theft, but go ask your favorite creators if they'd be okay with all their revenue going to zero.

I almost never watch YouTube on my computer and it is almost always used on my TVs by my family. YouTube premium is probably the most useful streaming sub I have.

That's a wide brush you're painting with.

YouTube is the largest repository of information and entertainment in the world and it isn't cheap to run. I also want to support the small creators that I watch so that it remains a viable income stream and they keep serving me content I consume.

Fuck a price hike and fuck corpo google shit but this is still a steal for my personal watching habits
