Comment on YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads

People do nothing but incessantly complain about thing- yet still use thing.
Go ahead and show the alternative, the alternative that has the content we need.
Before you respond that youtube is an entertainment service, I want to remind you that it isn’t, but that it’s only a part of it. You won’t handwave it away as if we were discussing netflix being enshittified.
News flash folks; You’re never going to win this. YouTube will always be ahead of you on this.
That’s objectively false. uBlock Origin devs and filterlist makers are doing a very good job.
Don’t like it, walk away.
That’s very similar to saying “don’t like your government? don’t like it, walk away, found your own”.
Yeah, that’s not his it works.
I bet you would be the first to call those who abandoned youtube as cavemen for not being able to access some video you shared

I don’t care if there’s an alternative. You’re not obligated to watch YouTube. It’s not a job.
You can walk away.

Google constantly puts Youtube ads at the top of searches for information! Countless people put their information on Youtube in the form of videos! Tutorials get put on Youtube as a matter of course! There’s a trove of old media on Youtube that can’t be accessed any other way! Congratulations, you’ve won the award for the most thoughtless dismissive person on the internet today.

Be sure to keep whining about their practices while supporting them to continue with it.
It’s funny from where I sit.

how do we support it? how, when we don’t upload any content, we only give them server load instead of money, and don’t even increase the view count? how? if anything this is a loss for them, but not a gain that’s for sure
