So you don't want to watch ads and don't want to pay for premium. What do you propose Youtube should do to make money to run the platform?

I would rather see YT shut down and spark creative alternatives than continue its race to the bottom.

Google is rich. Their products have stagnated. They have no user support to reconcile mistaken flags or strikes.

It's anti user, the platform should be pro user. I'd like to see dark patterns pay their price and become deincentivized.

Why is that my problem?

Because at some point YouTube doesn’t run the platform anymore?
