Ok, poor boy.

Don't worry, you didn't need it.

Lemmy losers click downvote the millisecond anyone says something positive about anything non-FOSS, or a bigger corporation. You already clicked that button, just like you've already downvoted this one.

If they use all that stuff to shoot the video, it means they already made it or they spent money they shouldn't have.

Pretty clear you've never owned a business. You have to invest money to start it.

Not really going to get into it with you, because you clearly have your mind made up, but you pretty much nailed why at the end.

I have a vivid memory of YouTube being a platform where normal people could share videos of their kids and pets or other fun random low quality but entertaining things

People spend a lot of time and money making videos these days. They aren't just random low quality things. They have teams of sometimes hundreds, use cameras worth half a million dollars, and may take a week or month to record said video while paying those hundreds of employees.

Again, not going to change your mind, Lemmy is very open about not giving a shit about others when it comes to money, but it's not 2006 anymore, and people need to make their money back AND pay their employees.

Personally I'm fine watching a few ads to support the content I clearly want to watch. Seems weird you'd be interested enough in what someone has to show you, but refuse to help them in any way, but whatever.

Remember guys, don't forget to hit the downvote button if you haven't already. How dare I say anything positive that isn't just "fuck ads, fuck YouTube, fuck everyone!"
