      As I said in a previous post, people are afraid of pirating, so they prefer higher prices if it is a “safe” method.

      I pay for that, because YouTube and YouTube Music is the main source of media for me And my family and I have no issue with paying for a service that I use a lot. And paying for that is so much easier then investing huge amounts of time into searching for and maintaining alternative Players and Tools for all the different devices where I (and my family) consume YouTube and YouTube Music. My limited time is more valuable for me then the price for the service.

      A LOT of people pay for that. I was flabbergasted as well. Why would you pay for a free service? This feels like buying premium bottled tap water and they don’t even bother to filter out the chlorine and the heavy metals.

        People buy diet water, so i don’t think there is a limit to what people buy

        Do you pay for Lemmy? Did you donate something? Or do you think you don’t need to, because it’s free?

          I’m sorry, I did not put this in the right words. I thought I already deleted the comment. But no yes yes.
