Oh YouTube. You are in such a dominant position for talented individuals who want to create their own TV show. You’ve been pissing people off for a long time, but changing what “YouTube” even is seems way worse.
I will even pay the $15 for my family to be able to easily watch or listen to whatever they want in a native app on whatever platform they’re using. And I like how it makes my views more valuable to the creators I care about.
But if it’s not cheap, easy, AND ad-free, it is not difficult to block ads or even download videos I care about onto my Jellyfin server.
Youtube has changed, its serialised direct tv now. You cannot easily find short videos, or old creators. Even if you do search ater like five videos they will return you to algorithmic results unrelated to search criteria.
