A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), [email protected] can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. [email protected]

Or you simply don't pay anything at all for either service by downloading add-ons that unlock Premium
xManager & Revanced on Android, literally the only reasons (+ Stremio) I will never buy an iPhone as long as these services exist. You save hundreds of dollars every year. Revanced has more options than YouTube Premium too, like automatically skipping sponsor sections.
I'm all for paying for the media I consume, but I will never pay for YouTube. First and foremost, I don't think they pay artists enough, which is why I buy all my music albums individually on services such as Bandcamp.
Second, I believe Google is working hard on turning the internet into a privacy violating walled garden riddled with unblockable ads, where all relevant technologies and standards are de facto controlled by them. I use uBlock and reVanced to block ads on YouTube and pay content creators through Patreon because I WANT to hurt Google financially by spending their compute resources without giving them ad impressions. I think everyone should do the same.
This is the same comment the crops up every time a meme critical of YouTube premium pops up. I'm starting to think it's a copypasta.
