> I pay for YouTube Premium in India.

Surely indians could find better things to spend their money on.

When India banned tiktok, I remember thinking wow, they've finally got their act together and are developing their own social media platforms. Instead, they gave up tiktok to pay for youtube garbage. A nation of 1.5 billion and they can't build up their own tech platforms. How long before they start paying for facebook accounts. India never fails to disappoint. A nation with immense potential and terrible leadership and no vision.

That's not for you and me to decide. Indians are perfectly capable of making their own purchasing decisions, good or bad.

Might I remind you that WhatsApp was offered to Indians for free while the rest of the world was paying $1? There's no way Facebook would be pay to use. I hope it would be.

I am not going to comment on this as is it not relevant to the discussion.
