It amazes me how entitled these Internet hippies are nowadays. You can’t expect someone to provide such a huge service for free. If you don’t like ads, pay for it. It’s like $5 per month when you pay as a group…

I would pay if

  1. Google promised not collect any data but now you would pay and have your data collected.

  2. I just want load my subscription feed and they are all there not hidden away.

  3. Hid shorts or have them on separate tab.

  4. Bonus would be if related videos where acutely related videos in time span. Not the mess they are now.

Also why would I have to pay YouTube music? I don’t want that.

They make enough money off the rubes. They should just let us nerds have this one.

I’d rather Youtube and Google itself be split up under anti-trust laws. I don’t want them to exist.

I’d rather people build smaller video websites for niche subjects so the internet is decentralized to the extent it was when it first started.

Nobody is forcing you to use their services.

Actually they are, because Google controls 90% of the internet, most cell phones while Apple controls the rest and does the same, meaning we consumers don’t get a choice.

We’re just slaves.
