Obviously. I predicted this on Mastodon months ago when they started adding ads right in the middle of videos.
Piss people off and they'll pay to disable ads. There's nothing that competes with TikTok right now.
12 4 ReplyCharge people to go ad-free. Keep increasing the sub price over time, then provide a lower cost version with minimal ads.
13 1 ReplyTiktok and YouTube are my only sources of entertainment. I'm okay paying for both.
Especially since both allow for anyone to upload as much as they want without limits or fees. Hosting that much data isn't cheap.
Obviously the FOSS users will downvote me, as they believe everything should be free and unlimited.
