      It is a service, but you aren’t the consumer~~,~~ and you’re the product.

      Yeah yeah the standard pedantic response to web services who use ads.

      But how about a real response? People want to block ads and still consume content. If you feel the cost is too high then shouldn’t people watch some ads and block others to only “pay what you want.” Everyone seems to want the service for free and then cry that when you don’t pay your get your videos.

      Explain how this is different than going to a grocery store and then being pissed they wont let you just walk away with food without paying?
