    Mhm, I see that point, although I find it concerning given that the quality of the UX platforms like youtube has kept a consistent decline over the past decade. It feels like google keeps amassing more and more reasons for people to enable adblockers but I also understand youtube needs to be a profitable business and at some point you need to show ads

      True, these are the challenges of freeware, ads are required unless you pay or become a pirate.

      Youtubers/social media now mostly have promotions within videos, so we went back to how cable functions.

      Thoughts on Social media/Rumble/twitter and other video platforms will evolve over time?

      I think Alphabet (Google) will keep doing things that make people leave there other platforms, youtube will take a while so changes will be more gradual.
