I already have backed off of youtube so much because of how awful they have made the experience, this will be it for me entirely if they implement this.

Honestly, my feed is so full of rubbish, clickbait thumbnails and misinformation that I really can't even believe it's a Google product. It's just so polluted. It's really come to the stage where I actually "hope" the search helps me find what I'm looking for, the sea of bullshit on YT is vast and difficult to navigate now. For a time, I would say I was quite addicted to YouTube, but now I'm so turned off by it and I find that it is mostly full of really low grade content. I hardly even think to look the front page it unless I'm looking for something very specific. I treat it like a bank job now, race in, get what I need then straight back to the get away. Personally, I feel similar to you, if they force me off it with Ads, good. I had though about paying but the smut they suggest I watch is just a turn off.

This is not all that different than my experience with even Google Search these days. Half the time I search for something on Google the top 10 are all ads/SEO spam sites. There are certain things that I search that still give the best results out of all search engines (usually very specific queries), but more and more I want to be able to pay Google to leave out the shit.

There are four browser extensions I use just to clean up youtube garbage. Shouldn't have to do it, but it works well enough for me. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/improve-youtube-%F0%9F%8E%A7-for-yo/bnomihfieiccainjcjblhegjgglakjdd https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/improve-youtube-%F... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unhook-remove-youtube-rec/khncfooichmfjbepaaaebmommgaepoid https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unhook-remove-yout... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clickbait-remover-for-you/omoinegiohhgbikclijaniebjpkeopip https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clickbait-remover-... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blocktube/bbeaicapbccfllodepmimpkgecanonai https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blocktube/bbeaicap...
