Whilst I am sure the article might be low quality ultimately, I still wish to see what other options they are advocating. This is clearly just a screenshot and only the first option for blocking ads.

Ads are fucking annoying, but I’m still not sure how people are answering this question.

What should YouTube’s business model be?

We can start with non-intrusive and non-personalized ads without any tracking.

Then if Google could stop getting greedier, they would have a business model that could sustain Youtube.

Non-personalized ads pay a fraction of the money targeted ads can get you.

Non intrusive ads are pretty much just amal banner ads on the side, they pay near to nothing.

Youtube barely makes any money as is, if you introduce even one of these changes they are far into the red again.

Now if we also remove any tracking, then Google has no reason at all to keep it going and will just shut it down.

I despise Google too, I avoid them like the plague, my phone is deggogled and all my apps come from third party storefronts. But YouTube simply is not a profitable business without personalised ads and tracking.

The could make everything above 1080 quality subscription only, or charge uploaders for the storage. This would probably also cut down on the low quality spam Channels that only exists for ad revenue…
