Yeah with you until im blasted with political ads. Ads for medication i don’t need. Ads i have seen 100 times. Back to back un skippable ads.

If people don’t want to watch the ads and “content creators” aren’t supported they will have to do something else.

I put content creators in quotes because 97% of you tube is trash content that they all steal from the few people making original things. Most of them should not make any money.

And importantly they deliberately REMOVED the ability to quickly tell if the content is trash or not (up/down numbers)

All to protect the feeling of corporates. Wasnt that done in response to the YouTube rewind and Disney trailers down votes?

Yea this holy reverence for the glorious Content Creators (praise be their name) is kind of silly. To me, YouTube has always been a place for rando people to upload silly 10 second videos of their cat, to share, without some entitled expectation of "revenue share". I used to upload videos a lot and didn't even consider making a cent from them. We should go back to that kind of YouTube and leave this "Influencers Mass Creating Content For Money" model behind.
