Artificial scarcity so you’ll pay their dumb subscription fee
Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads

Not only that but the bit-rate as of late seems horrendous, 1080 looks more like 720 or lower with artifacts all over the place.

Oh, did you not pay for YouTube Extra Premium Plus for the enhanced bit rate?
Bloody peasant…

And really you’re just paying extra for the original 1080 bitrate. What a fucking scam, like I’d pay for that crap.

Yes, some video have a 1080p Premium high nitrate quality option that you need to pay for. It’s just the standard quality, but the free 1080p is now shitty.
It’s very sad there isn’t anything that can even remotely compare to YouTube at this time. All the content is there, can’t get it elsewhere. At least with Firefox, ublock and SponsorBlock, it’s bearable.
