      Then you are part of the problem.

      If no one bought that crap there wouldn’t be an insensitive for this psychological warfare.

        Imagine paying for content. What’s the saying? If it’s free you are the product?

        Anyway, I paid long before the AdBlock crackdown.

          Idk man, paying for YT premium feels like paying for an ad-free experience, not content. Like my subscription would be going to YT, not the creators who made the content.

          You forget that YouTube was always free in the before times of long long ago. Content was free and delivered flawlessly. Minimal ads. Maybe banner ads or something. Now it’s ads every few minutes.

          I just bypass google entirely by hosting my own modified invidious instance and nuked my account.

          Free, no clutter, blazing fast. Took maybe 20 minutes to setup.
