      So you don’t think the content creators you are watching should make money? How else are they to support themselves?

          This is the way.

          Ads are not just cancer, on YouTube they’re also fucking scams, the ones claiming to be mr.beast and those that promises free vbucks comes to mind. Ads as a service needs to die, it’s an over-abused market with no real value.

          Amen brother. Ads are cancer. Except for tiny indie-devs or such who will never get enough moneyz by donation alone. There i could tolerate it, knowing I’m worthless to any advertiser anyway. They just waste their money.

      Anyone who pays for premium is a fucking loser.

      What a subtle take. Anyone who doesn’t conform to my view points must be inferior.

      Everyone actively working at the google enshittification should honestly consider jumping off a fucking bridge. You’re an awful person and you make the world a worse place to be in.

      Yes, inciting people to kill themselves, sure. You do know there are many corporations (cue the oil and gas industry) which are monstrously worse than Google.

      Anyone who really thinks that Google right now is the main thing making the world a worse place sure lives in a bubble. But then, these YouTube bad posts I have been seeing since almost over a month ever since this thing started rolling out. I get it, it is bad but would you stop harping over it like it is the end of the world? There is more to tech than just posting Google bad every alternate day.

          It’s alright. I can relate with the sentiments of these posts. It wasn’t a change that folks were expecting which Google is rolling out [is it still in A/B testing or slowly everyone is getting countrywise] and since people’s primary email account is often linked to GMail, there is always a fear that too much overriding might cause a ban[ though Google hasn’t done so in the past till now ].
