    The f are you on about? YouTube has a fairly affordable ad-free tier with a transparent revenue-share model that multiple top content creators have openly endorsed.

    This ad infested hell only exists because most of the internet users think it’s outrageous to pay 10$/month for an all-you-can-eat VoD service. Some top creators did branch out to create their own streaming services, and spoiler alert, it’s more expensive, or just as expensive but with muuuuch less content.

    I do care if all that YT content is gone. It’s a fuckin goldmine.

    I’d really wish they actually had the audacity to just paywall the entire platform. Pay or fuck off, no ads.

    And then people like you can go back to the good old days of some other random free video hosting service where a 360p video with a cat meme was buffering for a minute on a good day, or was completely unavailable on a bad one.

      Contrary to what you seem to have understood with my previous post, I’d be absolutely fine with this.
