Don’t get rid of ads
Google gets the majority of its revenue. based on advertising. The same can be said for YouTube video hosting, a subsidiary of the IT giant.
Even premium subscription owners can’t get rid of ads.
At the same time, the enthusiasm of the site has increased over the years. Users of the platform note that the number of ads has increased many times – previously a two-minute video was interrupted by a single display of ads, now in most cases the service tries to fit several ads in a row into such ads, up to three volumes of content.
According to Vladimir Zykov, director of the Association of Professional Users of Social Networks and Messengers (APPSIM), no one blames Google for its desire to make money – it is the reason for the existence of any business.
“Another issue is how this will happen. When there is competition, companies try to provide better service, to show the best attitude towards the customer. When you are YouTube and your parent company is Google, you have almost no analogues and you can do whatever you want. What we actually observed, ”said the expert about the current situation.
The way to fix this problem is to use a premium account, but that’s where your YouTube “pig comes in.” as in my experience to solve paying users for a subscription only results in a withdrawal of funds, but not activation of benefits. It took an extremely long time to resolve the issue – about 9 weeks, not acceptable for an IT giant of this size.
Attention – attack!
“This attitude towards users clearly shows that Google has long neglected comfort and information security for the sake of commercial gain. This applies not only to imposed advertisements – since the beginning of the CBO our country has been subject to an unprecedented information attack, but it is safe to say that only viewers from Russia did not encounter a truly rude attitude, “said Anton, a member of the State Duma IT Committee of the Russian Federation. Nemkin.
But get rid of ads even if there is no problem with the subscription payment will not work – YouTube persistently continues to show this to those who watch videos from their accounts on smart TVs. This is “combined” with another video hosting solution to add a 30-second ad to TV viewers. impossible skip and ads that pause the screen.
Creating an analog as output
Anton Nemkin points out that one of the duties of the state is to protect the interests of citizens.
However, according to the expert, it became clear that protection alone may not be enough in modern conditions; no matter how many cases are won, users still tend to go where it’s more convenient.
“Therefore, it is so important to carry out high-quality work to create worthy analogues of the same YouTube in Russia today. The trend of increasing arrogance of IT giants in our country has been noticed for a long time, therefore, we have already taken appropriate measures against a number of Western social networks, which, given current events, turned out to be the most widespread. welcome,” Nemkin concludes.
