      Well, that part is working really well. I’ve been using YouTube less and less every time they’ve worsened the free service. I don’t even bother with the revanced loopholes, I’ll just don’t use YouTube to find stuff. Most of the content is made for monetisation purposes anyway.

      I’m not saying they shouldn’t do it, or that I don’t understand why. It’s just a prime example of the internet going to shit.
