So they should just provide you a totally free service the costs them money because…? Are they still going to pay creators or do you want everyone to work for free to entertain you?
Petition the government to make a nationally owned and run video sharing site if that’s what you want, don’t be surprised when a capitalist company doesn’t give you everything you want for free
People are generally okay with some ads. It’s the quantity and aggressiveness and propensity for making the content worse by how they inject them into the videos that people don’t like. Yes, their infrastructure costs money to run. But their service is only possible because of the people who make videos for them and the people who watch them. It’s always been a give and take relationship. They’ve just been gradually deciding over the years to take more and more as their monopoly over a certain category of digital media has solidified and people have responded in the way people always do.

Won’t somebody please think of the CEO!? Spare a thought for the investment portfolio!
Exactly! Give the CEO their 9th Lamborghini and 7th country holiday mansion. They deserve it!

The entitlement around here and on Reddit is insane. Just stop using the service if the ads are too much. Or pay for the subscription
