        Are you gonna say why not or are you just here to removed? There are a littany of valid reasons to not like YouTube but in this entire thread I’ve not seen you say a single one.

          Ads are intrusive; influencer culture is toxic; content creators have been incentivized to generate click bait type views; video game guides are 90% filler and not instructional at all but youtube algorithm prioritizes their content because of view counts; non-stop adverts for premium service; haven for white supremacist… I’ll stop here because obviously I have no valid critique of youtube.

            You don’t know, right? No problem. You don’t have to watch the ads. It’s easy, I haven’t seen one for at least a year. You can search for good content, there’s no law that you have to watch the crap. But even if you do all that, you should not forget to donate to the content creators. Everybody has a few bucks here and there. I know, this new world demands much flexibility and learning from us, but you can do it if you put your mind to it.
