I’m sure using hours of 4k bandwidth while getting nothing in return is a great deal for alphabet… 🙄
Bandwidth is EXPENSIVE. If you are not clicking on the ads and not even watching the ads, every minute you use the site is costing them money. They are just optimizing costs by cutting all “leechers”.
YouTube doesn’t need “exposure” or to “convince investors of an active user base”. They don’t need to keep users that cost them money because they have enough users already. They are well into the “monetization” phase.
It’s always amusing to see people claiming to be these masters of business strategies pushing such excellent advice as “pay money to provide a service to people who supply no revenue”.
Don’t get me wrong; there absolute is a point where you can be so overly burdensome that you’re going to push legitimate customers away and ultimately hurt yourself more than you help, and YouTube absolutely does do some stupid things, but business is so much more complicated than people like to think.
YouTube ensuring it gets ad revenue is the exact opposite of killing it.
People who use ad blockers aren’t the type of people to click the ads. We’re doing a Google a service by improving conversion statistics.
While funny, this doesnt really hold water.
