Honestly?
Not my monkeys, not my circus.
I don't care what YouTube wants to do or how they do it, they need viewers and if they can't figure out how to keep em, ah well. They gotta create a service that caters to my behavior, not the other way around.
Well, actually, they have to create a service that caters to people who bring them revenue. If that isn't you, they don't have to, and actively shouldn't, cater to you at all.
You're just saying "I don't have an actual answer" in a roundabout way.
Well, I don't, but it isn't my problem.
Google makes enough money as is, I don't really care if the make poor decisions and end up with an unviable business model. I'll do other things with my time.
I don't really care about Google's wellbeing. I pay directly to the content creators I like and I hate seeing ads anywhere in my life and I'm willing to put in time and effort to make sure I see as few as possible.
If they say that the marketing data they scrape from user activity isn't enough for em, well, sucks to suck I guess.
For someone who doesn't care and has no viable responses to the questions here, you sure do have a lot to say.
It's true, I'm very passionate about never viewing any advertisements!
