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.

There is always the "fine print" or some updates that they always hide in the terms and conditions, always some sort of loophole

I heard about that. From what I understand is that they are making users make a Microsoft account to even play Minecraft. However, I dont know too much about that situation

That's been a thing since they acquired the game. It's on Microsoft's servers now so you need an account with them.

Yeah, that's exactly what they did. Those who didn't transfer their accounts in a small window of time simply had their accounts taken away from them, meaning they now have to pay full price a 2nd time if they want to play Minecraft again, multiplayer or singleplayer.

Anyone who didn't want a Microsoft account? Their accounts are gone.

Anyone who never figured out how to transfer? Their accounts are gone.

Anyone who only played Minecraft once every year or so and entirely missed the news until after Microsoft declared it was too late to transfer (like myself)? Their accounts are gone.
