    But it’s quite horrifying to see people around the world having been taught into thinking that everything should be “free”

    Maybe the businesses shouldn’t have created the expectation that everything was “free” then.

    YouTube used to be 1 skippable ad at the start of the video. Now it’s multiple unskippable ads throughout the video. If the 1 skippable ad wasn’t a viable business model then they shouldn’t have been pretending it was and then changing things later once people have gotten used to the “free” system.

      So you would like a plan that uses the same amount of bandwidth and power as they used back then, with one skippable ad, for free?
