Good riddance, I can’t wait until I’m free from the instant gratification of videos by fancy ad vessels being narcissistic on the internet. The move to video and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
I already use sponsorblock, ublock and dearrow alongside Vanced patches, piped and newpipe on mobile. Quitting YT is the next step.
It’s happening because people allow it to happen. I recently unsubbed from a channel because they were beginning to use community posts to promote sponsors. Like a giant fucking post with complete BS like “I always wanted to do X video and now thanks to RAID SHADOW LEGENDS include huge pic it is now reality. Thank you RAID SHADOW LEGENDS and with code BullshitPromoFromYT you get 10% off the newest hat or whatever shit they sell in that game”. Some people complained and asked the creator not to do this, but they were quickly flooded by the hordes of “they have to make money somehow”-drones. Despicable.

On the one hand, fuck the comment drones.
On the other hand, that’s the freelance/gig economy for you. Everyone’s out there hustling until they can reach their passive income workless lifestyle dreams.
Edit: It felt too much like I was saying for poor people to just deal with it so I might rephrase it.
