How about what the viewers want

As long as the viewers refuse to pay for content, they get what the customers (the advertisers) want.

YouTube Premium actually pays out to "demonetized" channels. What people call "demonetized" is actually called "limited ads".

Pardon me Sir/Madam,

This is Lemmy.

All everyone does is shit on YouTube because they can no longer easily grab content without paying for it and they expect YouTube to constantly serve them content forever for free because "I'm SuRe GoOgLe CaN aFfOrD iT"
