general

or w/e it's called

I've considered it only because I use twitter a lot, it gives you a decent amount, extended character limit, boosted exposure, and you get money from views and interactions

Technically have it but it’s not mine

It rewards slop so I've refused to get it on principal

If I expand to include stuff my family pays for that they share with me I’d easily go up like two tiers

yeah don't count it if you don't pay for it

My most expensive traditional subscription is ChatGPT @ $20/month

nothing else is close

That’s reasonable

Well compared to Adobe

eh

it's a fucking lot

it's worth it

but still

Adobe

I am so sorry

Adobe doesn’t give you custom pickings, and so the only way to get premiere and photoshop is to pay for multiple subscriptions or the full cloud

I went through and purged my subscriptions recently

how much do they end up costing Vinny? I only know the cheaper school pricing I've seen email ads for

Full cloud is like

The only one I allowed to survive was YouTube because it makes using mobile much more convenient (which I use a lot)

$75 now

Ah yeah, youtubes one I've been thinking of getting

I'll never get YouTube on principle

I wouldn't use youtube music though so it's really just paying for an adblocker

I think it's way too overpriced but considering it's the only one I have I'll bite the bullet

but they do a good job paywalling worthwhile quality of life features (assuming you don't just circumvent to get them)

But, I mostly watch youtube on my phone so ads are a pain in the ass

Yeah

so I get why people sub

Loveland

please for the love of God

Ma subbed and offered to add me to her family so I get that “free”

do not waste your life watching ads

adblock or sub

I don't care which

but do one

I know 😔

Ads have gotten so bad

It’s ridiculous

the lazyiest approach is to just use Brave to watch YouTube on mobile, if you don't want to fuckaround with revanced or newpipe or w/e or Firefox mobile if you're a degenerate

I do use firefox instead of chrome now on my computer so it'd probably be nice to have that integrated

But I honestly just really like safari mobile, haha

Anyone who doesn't adblock is almost inhuman to me

There was a point a decade ago where you could sort of pass it off as not being a big deal

but at this point you can't "just ignore them"

the web is fundmentally unusable with ads

I pretty much stopped watching YouTube on my TV because the ads there were so terrible

adblock

I’m lazy

It was easier to just not watch on the tv
