you know matthew you remind me of this lady that comes to my job like once every week. she has this same loving entitled behavior every time. basically she comes into the store and immediately demands that we open up a fresh box of walnuts for her so she can get exactly 3.5 pounds of walnuts. the walnut box is 50 pounds and spoils between 3-5 days. we already have a box open. for some reason this lady thinks that our business was built with her super specific needs in mind and because of that she expects us to open up a fresh box of walnuts for her every time. but here's the problem.
when you open up a box of walnuts, you have to sell all 50 pounds within the next 2 days or else you throw away the box. so opening up a box just to get this bitch 3.5 pounds would mean that 46.5 pounds of walnuts could potentially go unsold and be thrown away, which would cost the business $300. not only that but it would mean that any other customers who would order walnuts would now be guaranteed to get non-fresh walnuts, as we'd now have two open boxes of non-fresh walnuts.
what she doesn't understand is that her super specific orders cost us money. and it adds up, especially since there are other people occasionally walking in and asking for us to open up fresh boxes when we already have boxes open. she doesnt understand, because she is merely a customer and not an employee, is that her orders cost everyone money, and the more it compounds, the more our business loses money and the less inclined they are to have us all full time. so they start cutting hours because they cant afford to give us full time benefits anymore. it hurts us all. so instead of losing $300, we do the smart thing, and say 'forget you' to the customer. in the end we lose $21 because she doesn't buy the walnuts, but who the forget cares. now we have an unopened box of walnuts that we can rotate when the old one spoils so everyone can get guaranteed fresh food.
the takeaway is that consumers should either buy or get the forget out. if you dont like the fact that youtube, a very successful FREE business, is using specific methods that save them millions of dollars but cost you, the consumer, absolutely no money whatsoever, then literally forget off and pay $4.99 for some handicapped ripoff like vidme. nobody needs to hear why you're super entitled to your spyro fangame or your alt right youtube channels or why you dont like microtransactions which are entirely optional and you dont even have to buy. just dont loving buy them. go watch a different channel. go make your own spyro fangame and get sued because people who own their own property are trying to protect it so all the employees that work for them can get a full salary.
money pays for your loving education and your house. it pays for everyones education and houses. dont criticize people for taking money-saving actions that dont even affect you at all, because if you were in a role of responsibility over other people's income and the future of your loving business, you'd make all of the decisions you're complaining about daily. you're just a basic npc consumer who can't fathom the weight of these huge money-oriented decisions.
