[Enshittification intensifies]
Well it’s what people want. No one even is complaining about the ads wants to pay for anything. And stuff costs money no matter what people choose to believe. Creators need to eat YouTube has costs. Money has to come from somewhere.
Honestly, if there was a remotely reasonably priced premium version of just youtube, no music or movies or whatever they try to shove down your throat nowadays, I would pay for that. But instead they rather price hike and make the ads more intrusive.
maybe if youtube didn't club itself over the head with the adpocalypses that happened, they wouldn't be in a position right now where every youtuber ever just integrates their ads directly into their videos.
They're monetizing in other ways as well, memberships especially.
