    You’re never going to get an honest answer to this question, but props for asking it anyway.

    Maybe you can run the servers and pay the engineers with good vibes or praxis?

      You’re never going to get an honest answer to this question,

      The honest answer was in the post they were originally replying to.

      I will never tolerate ads. I will give up YouTube before I watch ads.

      Youtube isn’t an existential need.

      Ad’s or bust isn’t a real dichotomy.

      Here’s another honest suggestion, drop free ad supported Youtube as a product and go full premium.

      It’d significantly reduce infrastructure costs and they’d be able to fund it with subscription monies.

      edit: used the wrong quote at the start
