Does anyone else ever notice that the changes like this they make are done piece mail, brick by brick ,they continue to shitify the service. That’s intentional…Imagine you tube in the year 2009. I’m betting no one really remembers, and youtube made the same bet.
How many things have they taken away that users really like over the years think about it. Now imagine they did all those changes AT ONCE…TODAY… from 2005 at inception.
Horrifying huh ?
Big companies always start off with an amazing array of “Standard Features” that they allow everyone to use, so that the users get hooked on them, then suddenly they make an announcement like this and they change, remove, or premium tier a feature. They know you wont like it… but they got you hooked and they know it and they dont care. It’s all driven at profiteering as much as they can off of you. Honestly I see youtube trying to become like Netflix by continuing to increase inconvenience with ads (for their profit), and ultimately making Youtube a completely payed service subscription to everyone.
They gaslight the great majority into just giving in to more ads, shittier service, and eventually a payed subscription by breaking your outrage up into small little pieces over time. STOP LETTING THEM !
