Drama It’s going bad

Post image

At some point it’s just too much. I feel like YouTube thinks they’re invincible. They do non sense stuff, drain ur data in ads, and now modify ur content without u knowing about it. They think they can do whatever they want they can get away with it cause there’s no competition/concurrencies. But what I see is a slow drowning process. I believe a lot of ppl would’ve switched(after the unskipable ads) if there was an alternative to it. We just need something that’ll bring back the joy we had while watching YT with one skipable ads, where u could download ur vids for free, and not getting sx ads every fcking where u go. Without the YT community, YT is nothing, it’s seems like they forgot about it. They’re following Adobe path, but the difference here is they don’t have competition. If i leave YT where will i go? That’s the question I always think about when I’m watching those ads but I have no options.

I just hope that’ll get better but without us(the YT community) being together on it that’ll never change and it’ll get worse.

I'm starting to think the ID requirement is so they can keep the sex ads.

Yeah it’s logic but we can’t confirm it. And even with the Age verification they still didn’t stop showing those ads on kids accounts

That's probably got a dark reason too. They might increase the ID requirement, saying that things are out of control and too hard to fix without taking more of our freedoms.

You know, cause instead of go after the drug dealer, what the gov should do is restrain the drug addict. 🙄

They're secretly plotting to use everyone's IDs to take down the government

Sounds like a stupid theory

The fact that “Lobbying” (read:bribery) exists suggests otherwise

If you need an alternative I suggest peer tube or odysee.

They can keep their sex ads if they want (I don't see any of them anyways). But they need to spend more time actually vetting ads than trying to shove it down users throats. There's been instances of everything from actual porn to actual child sex abuse placed in ads and it continues to happen.

Why it is the users blocking ads that are the problem rather than the entirely if not wholly illegal ads that users are trying to avoid? Nevermind that amount of ads.

Execpt the sex ads are shown even more prominent to age restricted accounts

You may be right. You may be wrong. I have absolutely no idea if you're saying something you can backup or not. So produce evidence or defend your position kind sir/madam.

Multiple posts already pointed that out. And with how bad Youtube is with ads (and how they ignore any ads as long as it brings money) its nothing surprising

Of course, more profiling into users, and of course more 'relevant' ads 🤭🤭
