They care. Problem is that they care only to be able to make more money. They are simply trying to see how much money they can make before rendering the service worthless or unusable

You people really throw logic out the window when you talk about shit like this. You want corporations to make less money? Go fix the fucking tax laws not bitch about average membership fees like a fuckwit.

The problem is not that YT cannot make money, the problem here is that the options are that you can choose if watching video, with or without ads, for free (well, paying with your data) or pay with money and your data to watch videos with ads.

I am not saying I have some god-like right to watch videos for free but on the other hand it seems that at YT they are trying as hard as they can to make me install adblocker to be able to use their service with minimun hassle.

YT, like every other company, is learning that if they don't care about customers then customers don't care about them. They are making the false equation "one less user with adblocker == one more user on Premium|without adblocker", which is obviously false. And they are forgetting that they have a lot of more or less direct competition.

You need to pay for services you use. I’m exhausted with online entitlement that it all should be free.

So, why Youtube Premium has ads ?

True, but this is valid for every company.
Let's say that since the company is Swiss based and, AFAIK, not quoted maybe they are not driven by the "the next quarter is all that matters" mentality of many quoted (US) companies.
There is a smaller chance that they will do something stupid to monetize more just to be ok next quarter (while risking to lose everything the next one) and will be there as long as they provide a value to the customer for the paid price.

Proton Pass allow you to export your passwords in various formats (both plain and encrypted). That you are able to import somewhere else is not something Proton Pass can guarantee but you have your data.

My ICE car (same price range of the Tesla 3 and Y) had so many issues that make me consider to change it more than a couple of times, so maybe you at least need to not be unlucky.

What I agree with you is that, normally, a 60k $ car from an well-established brand is way less prone to have quality issues than a car in the same prince range from a brand that 20 years ago did not even exist but I am sure enough that if we look at the same number of 60k $ cars from other brand with the same thoroughness we use to find defects in a Tesla, we probably will end up with roughly the same number of defects.

Not that I want to defend Musk, but

The whole carbon credits thing

I suppose here he just used something that was present, like many other entities

Other companies have largely eaten their lunch, launching solid EV’s that rival or better Tesla

Yes, only after Tesla show that it is possible to make a nice EV car. Do you remember all the EV cars before Tesla.

Their reputation was built off of the end-goal of mass-producing affordable EV’s, something they will now not do.

Given they started from scratch, I'd say the are not that bad

Survivor bias is a thing.

Yes, but normally also the fact that only who has problems is vocal about them.

One car not having issues doesn’t mean all or majority of them don’t.

True, but also does not means that the majority of them had problems.

For a 60k$ car it has to be perfect, not just “not having issues” because in ICE world that amount of money buys you some seriously good car.

Good luck with this.

Also, Tesla’s mileage estimates are notoriously exaggerated.

To be honest, this is like the ones from every other car, both EV and ICE.

I am not justifying anything, I am only saying that if you make a decision there are consequences.

Nice, now show me all the times that was asked to Hamas to follow the same laws.

One thing of the war laws is that if you don't follow them with me, you cannot ask me to follow them with you. And I would be in the right.

True, but Guerrilla Warfare tactic has its consequences. You use it, you need to be ready to pay the cost.
