Well, they are entitled to code the page how they'd like, provided it's not anything that meets criminal standards for malware. And if they do start putting ads in video streams then I will likely be writing them off for dead just like I did months ago with Reddit. Til then I'll be using the various moles that still haven't been whacked (there's a good few) and not suffering through the experience. If they think they're getting a dime from me with the agenda they push, just because the creators I want to see don't have time to post across the variety of platforms (yet), they can get their heads examined.

They should pray we do not alter it further. > provided it's not anything that meets criminal standards for malware Google spies on us. Pretty much everything Google ships is malware since spyware is malware by definition. I also consider anything that so much as tries to circumvent uBlock Origin to be malware. > And if they do start putting ads in video streams then I will likely be writing them off for dead just like I did months ago with Reddit. Same.

Well... I'm a creator. I choose to post to YouTube with a reasonable expectation that you're either a YouTube Premium subscriber or will produce ad revenue. None of that entitles you to see my work on your terms, no matter how (insert rant about evil corporate overlords) Yet here you all are, making any and all excuses for your obvious entitlement.

  You should instead have a reasonable expectation that some percentage of people will and some percentage of people won't, because that's the world you live in. You work with youtube to deliver a box of files to people's houses free of charge, with the expectation that folks will view every file in the box. Do you think it's reasonable to believe or expect that folks won't throw the annoying ones over their shoulder?
