I want the internet to be a network of digital libraries...communication, public events and sharing space...personal pages...services...the commercial motive starts from there and eventually consumes the rest :/

Google certainly acts like it owes me nothing indeed, that's why it will never be good enough to pay to watch.
What do you use for that, fetch the transcript and just feed it to the LLM of your choice? Or are you talking of the actual LLM watching and summarizing?
I miss those cheeky gif banners from the 2000s
One of the reasons electric cars were able to outcompete ICE-specialized companies is because they undercut on all sorts of nice to haves like buttons and pieces that they forgo by using a screen, wifi, updates, beta testing.
But they don't pass on those cost savings to you. They are even sold as luxury products. They even take the carbon credits. That's bullshit if you are serious about mainstream adoption.
And can a car your rooted pass periodic inspection?
Are there any electric cars that aren't glorified smartphones on wheels? Something a grandma can drive without ending up in the wrong menu.
Is that what they are trying to do? Push crap ads and try to kill adblock to get a little extra user share to pay for yet another subscription?
PS: let me add that I also watch TV and the balance between quality of content and ads and their placement is much better (yes, some countries are worse than others with this). I don't know what they are doing in youtube ads, but it's anti-human (not just the ads, but the design too: super slow loading, tricks you into clicking the wrong content). Like they don't want you to "pay" by watching ads, they want to torture you until you subscribe, go away or get adblock.
But how else are they gonna ~~piss~~ trickle down on you?
The other day I visited youtube without any add-ons and concluded I'd rather do anything else than use youtube under those conditions.
Ok, apparently it wasn't as gradual as I thought, there was a determining moment in 93-94 with Netscape and HTTPS that made secure transactions possible for e-commerce.
