He might've borrowed them from a library.

OpenAI could've trained on borrowed ebooks as well

Won't block YouTube ads.

lmao you're so wrong on ads being more profitable than premium, especially on a per-user basis

According to this you can expect to make around $18/1000 views. That's with 55% going to the creator and 45% to Google. Which means that Google makes around $14.5 per 1000 views.

Coincidentally, that's also rougly the price of YouTube Premium. Are you telling me that you watch a thousand videos per month?

They might be allowing them to run the boxes for free, but the ISPs are saving money on bandwidth, too.

Get enough users for the ISP to care and they'll work with you. Otherwise, you probably don't have all that many users to begin with, so the overhead that maintaining and distributing these boxes would create wouldn't be worth it anyway.

Ah yeah they do forget, after a decade or two.

You're not going to jail for non-payment.

If you have stronger credit and want to leave anyway, I think it'd be dumb not to take advantage of it.

It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it's based on watch time)

They are also often subsidized with interest from people who don't pay their cards off

Yes, pure html pages are so much better and nicer to use!

Won't work, can't work.

There are companies which have insane revenues but tiny profits - let's say manufacturing, where you need to pay a shitton for materials and workers, just to get a bit in return.

There are also companies where the main source of income is selling people's time, say a consulting firm like McKinsey. Their income/revenue ratio is gonna be totally different from the first example.

I'm sure there are good ways to do it but this ain't one of them.
