Everyone here is bitching and whining about how much YouTube sucks, and yet we all know that no one will stop using the service.
So why do you they’re able to get away with this type of shit time and time again?
Youtube is great not because of itself, but because of the content, none of which they are the creator of.
I say this a lot but I’d happily pay for YouTube if the company didn’t run it so arbitrarily
And I sure as fuck don’t want to pay now, if this is how they treat their viewers
There isn’t any alternative for either content creators or consumers so of course people can’t just stop using it. But that doesn’t mean everyone should just accept anything from them. These kinds of things definitely hurt both the YouTube and Google brands and there definitely are Google products that you can stop using and avoiding to give money to YouTube.
Well, then you can count on them continuing to fuck over everyone that uses their service.
