YouTube's cat-and-mouse game against third-party apps only ensures more people will dislike the company

          You can like something and want it to be better. In the lack of actual alternatives the vitriol against YouTube’s anti-user decisions makes a lot of sense. I think you’re just being contrarian.

            I think the issue is that video content is expensive to make and host

          Youtube is one of those things you can’t avoid in practice. So if you don’t like it what do you do? do you just miss out on most existing video content?

      I’m so addicted to YouTube it’s gonna be a very rough time when I can no longer watch without ads, because I’m sure as hell not watching ads.

        Simply pay, and you won’t see ads.

          I stopped paying when they increased the price, for less functionality.

          Still paying membership for a couple of youtubers I wanted to support (that don’t have patreon, or ko-fi, or stuff like that), but gonna keep using adblocker for as long as I can, since YouTube adds are awful.

          Loads of videos have embedded ads.
