As with most Google companies the packet promotion process is decreasing the quality of the product and the user experience.
YT is clearly pandering to advertisers. I feel a little (ok, a lot) of schadenfreude every time I hear about a move that makes advertisers uncomfortable..
The internet used to be made by users for users. Commerce has ruined software development and the general experience on the web for many.
I can’t think of a world where uBlock doesn’t work anymore. I think I’d leave the business and find a new career doing something physical where I don’t have to be subjected to this crap.
- blagie 4y ago... I'm not sure about that. Most of my problems with Youtube have much more to do with me being a niche customer than anything. I honestly believe most of the world most wants to see stupid cat videos, videos of people embarrassing themselves, videos which will make them feel validated, and so on. The older I get, the less faith I have in humanity.
- mozman 4y agoI don’t see these as mutually exclusive. The ego of tech companies think they know better than the user. Never doubt what you want. Niche or not you’re still a user. Shorts are cancer.
