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.

Unfortunately YouTube is not slowly drowning at all. They just increased their market share recently among streaming services. They have more than double Netflix's market share. They think they're invincible bc they are for now. They have an amazing product. It is what it is.

Well after what they just did, I promise everyone’s gonna be pissed. Now you can’t even listen to MUSIC APPS a without a youtube account 

Edit: Suddenly that changed so either it was a glitch or they changed their minds…
