I just don't get the entitlement around Youtube. It costs money to maintain the servers and keep it running, 24/7 so you can enjoy the content. It certainly doesn't owe you a free Rickroll.
If for whatever reason Youtube wants to enshittify its service to destroy its UX it is 100% within its rights to do so.
If you want it to (temporarily) work again, just get everyone within 6 degrees of separation from you to sign up for Youtube Premium.
- riversflow 3y agoHow is this entitlement? They are just stating a fact, a surprise video isn’t really a surprise when you have ad roll first. They make no value judgement about youtube, you projected that.
- rglullis 3y agoIt also cost them money to run it when they had competition. Why didn't they charge then? Their dumping tactics worked and they are the only global platform now, do you think they are entitled to extort us and profit from our attention? And to top it off, you think we should reward this behavior?
