I must admit, it's nice to have every ads blocked on YouTube. My experience could be so bad as a free user of the platform ! The premium costs to much anyway.

It's no wonder most creators go to Twitch over YouTube to make a living. It's a weird feeling to be supported by users via subs while companies continually try to **** you.

The adpocolpyse continues.

Typical Google scumbag move. Do something out of pure greed, and claim that it's purpose is to benefit the content creators.

I swear, lately many tech services have placed ever-increasing profits over everything else. First, YouTube removed the like-dislike ratio because... I don't know? YouTube Music no longer even allows you to play music with your phone screen off, at least now without a subscription. Reddit pissed off its community with its greedy API changes.

It should be common sense that striving for increased numbers year after year is detrimental to your user's experience.
