    YouTube is coming up with another infuriating way to force users to pay for Premium subscription or watch ads.

    Or to let us know its time to quit. I have narrowed down my youtube use a lot. If it is ad only I won’t bother at all.

    Won’t miss much frankly.

      Yes, but you are the minority.

      I dated a girl over the summer, and we were watching youtube videos in bed.

      My phone has revanced, and it kills all the ads.

      Then she shows me one of her videos.

      It was…oh my god. Do you have ANY idea how awful the vanilla youtube experience is?

      And thats just how most people watch it. They just watch youtube, with the official app. Ads and all, and are fine with it.

      So even if all the fediverse minded people quit youtube in unison, it would still be less than 1% of their viewership.
