Stfu, I’m subbed. But as soon as I get an ad or a price hike, I’m out. And I’m not gonna blame anyone that can’t or won’t pay. Especially when there’s ads every 2 minutes. That shit is abusive. Defending it is fucking disgusting. Can’t think of anything in this world that’s a bigger waste of time…like… literally you could do anything else and it’d be more worthwhile.

Btw. How are you paying for Lemmy?

It’s not about wanting everything for free, it’s about billionaires asking for more all the time. I can’t find any information about the costs of running YouTube, but it’s definitely making a profit. It’s making over 30 billion in ad revenue and 15 billion from subscriptions. And somehow that’s not enough and they need more.

I don’t understand why people feel the need to defend billionaires and their corporations out of all the things to spend your time on…

We are focusing on both, afaik. I’m pretty sure the doc/aop/igp qualifications relate to quality as well as geography. It’s not just about the location.

And there’s nothing stopping anyone from making a better cheese, naming it whatever else other than a trademarked name and building a reputation for quality. So I don’t see what the issue is.

Edit: happy now?
