My point in my comment was about how YouTube is expensive to run and that the more people who refuse to generate revenue for it (I feel dirty writing that and strongly disagree with it, by my feelings have no effect on reality,) then it has to make shittier and shittier decisions to generate that revenue.

I 100% agree that YouTube should pay their creators more and protect them from bullshit copyright, but that would just compound the issue of the cost of running the site.

What is this entitled attitude everyone has where they believe they should be handed things for free? It completely unsustainable and childish. Corporations do not do things for free, they can't. They exist solely to generate revenue and if they can't, they die. I generally hate corporations on principle, but again my feelings don't change reality.

You'll care as more and more people have to quit YouTube or make progressively more shit content to appease the algorithm. It also makes it harder and harder for new people to start on YouTube.

Basically everything within capitalism fucks over someone that's just business as usual 8n out society. Usually to a much worse degree, think the children who likely made your clothes for next to nothing. I'm all for tearing down the system, but there's not a whole lot as an individual that I can do.

While I agree that marketing trying to sell you upgrades you don't need is dumb and annoying, it's a pretty poor argument unless you have absolutely no willpower or something and can't stop yourself from buying new things just because it been advertised to you.
