Weird question...
If you don't pay on youtube, it means they get the money (for bandwidth) from somewhere else. "if something is free, you are the product".
In short: they sell your attention, data, interests to the highest bidder. Same for spotify.
Another reason to use blossom: Youtube and Spotify can kick you off whenever they want.
This myth is roped into minds of people that free things are bad .. just FYI ..air is free :-) .... they charge for water but you get the point ... There is nothing in this world which is absolutely free and there is nothing that you can completely own .. btw .. in that beat ..even newspapers ran on advertising .. so was radio and cable .. and btw Linux and Bitcoin code is also free - like free as in free beers ..does that make you a product ? Think about - What does Linux project sell ? Cuz they took eat and live :-) And I thought people were blaming Microsoft and Apple for a hefty price tag on their worthless products ..
Yes - Spotify and YouTube can kick you off .. but they allow you to download your content ..don't they ? .. .. just like a Blossom server , you can keep a copy of all your content on a RAID 5 personal system :-) .. and the truth is ..most our content is anyway useless beyond a shelf life ... Mine is a day ..yours could be an year !
