This is why I refuse to pay for YouTube. They are literally actively making the experience worse, rather than trying to make the paid experience better. This is laughable.
Look, I think YouTube is one of the few major "social media" sites that net positive for social good. And it loses Google money every year with saving everyone's videos forever and hosting 4k and even 8k content...
But you can't withhold the carrot and use the stick. They're eroding trust with the people that have liked and supported YouTube throughout the years. There are plenty of people like me, that would gladly pay some amount of money. Just not THAT amount of money. Create some payment tiers and decent benefits for climbing up it.
