Got waylayed in my search by a video on constipation. I couldn’t move.

Unwilling to suspend disbelief?

Looks freaky. Can’t wait to watch it.

She hated blade runner 2049. I thought it was great. After that she realized she shouldn’t ask me to watch frozen 2 or hallmark.

It’s true. I dislike sitting in front of a screen watching moving pictures of people pretending to be other people. Not just movies, either. I dislike TV just as much. I don’t know what it is.

I don’t hate 100% of movies and TV. Just maybe 99%. I enjoy some scifi. I really liked the Battlestar Galactica reboot of the early 2000s. I liked some Star Trek, especially DS9. I don’t hate Picard so far. I can’t say I enjoyed Joker but I did enjoy the message (“kill the rich, literally, like actually dead”), especially as it was ironically delivered by a (presumably rich) famous actor. Still, despite a few exceptions, I’ll generally take watching some Dutch girl ride her motorcycle around South America on Youtube for a few dollars a day over any multi-million-dollar blockbuster.

YouTube is great. It’s really improved the last 5 years.

Absolutely. I pay them $13/mo to get rid of ads. Improves the experience significantly.

I’m thinking of doing that. I listen to it for an hour a day.

or just install a youtube addblocker;)

I found those affected playback in many cases. In any case, paying Google also gets me three other important features: background playing (which I use endlessly), downloading for playing offline (which I use on every flight and almost every night with audiobooks), and Youtube Music (their Spotify alternative).

I have a YouTube and Google account but I don’t pay for Google services.

am sure google will survive without our money as long as reg keeps sponsoring them lol

Indeed. My Google bill is a couple of hundred a month. It’s some of the best money I spend. I get tremendous benefit from it and it is an excellent value, especially compared to competitive services. I also get the entertainment value of laughing at dummies who refuse to pay for anything Google on principle and thereby do not reap the benefits of their services.

if it makes you happy sure lol but what benefits?
a youtube playlist will play standard in the background forever
everyone can download with a youtube downloader
all for free…

I pay Google to host almost all my websites these days, having moved away from Wordpress. They host my email/docs/calendar (GSuite) for 5 companies (and BBAD, although nobody has used BBAD email for years). I also pay them to host my woman’s website and email/docs/calendar, since her company doesn’t make much. I pay them for unlimited photo storage and that backs up my Flickr and also stores all the photos I take that I don’t want published. YouTube is just one thing they do for me, and that only costs $13 CAD per month (about $10 USD).

i still dont hear any benefits over free alternatives lol

That is because you are not smart, Nico. :smiley:

The only things I have a subscription to are netflix and Amazon prime which I use constantly like a good American.
