I understand your point. But still, I have to use sponsorblock. Some content creators have an insane amount of advertising. I would not watch them at all without Sponsorblock. Maybe my view does not make money for them, but atleast it's good for their metrics.

What a BS excuse. I do it cause I like free stuff and I don't have to watch the ads or pay for it. Which is the real reason everyone does it. But it well be an interesting next few years with the basically free money drying up in tech they well have to make money somehow. And I imagine a lot of people well cry when stuff folds or other things happen.

Or users will just move on. Why stay and get fucked? See reddit --> lemmy. Not everyone will move on, and that's fine. Let them watch ads and get spied on. That's not for me.

Lol YouTube as a business is basically impossible to run. There isn't going to be a place to move on to.

That sounds like a Alphabet problem and not yours or mine.

And if that means no more youtube, good.
