I can tolerate ads as long as it's helping the creators and isn't used to make the platform worse. The first condition is only sometimes satisfied and the 2nd is being straight up violated.

If they can fix how garbage search is and put the dislike count back, I'll happily pay for premium as a thank you for making a great platform. But nope, they just focus on making the UI even worse.

No Google product will ever see my money. I will, however, donate to good content providers, and I do every now and then.
