INSERT LINK TO SOURCE HERE Youtube sucks all around. They change stuff all the time, some designs make no sense. Then you have Google starting to shove unwanted content from garbage channels in your face who are totally not shills and biased to one specific narrative. You may not remember when literally everyone was throwing fits about Youtube implementing advertisements on videos, but now many people don't really care. It's been put on us so much that we either just skip when available or turn on some kind of ad block extension. It's become the norm. Google knows best amirite guise. Well, now they're throwing out the idea of unskippable 30-second ads, right into the garbage where it belongs. Well I'll be gosh derned to heck, friend. Google is all of a sudden figuring out what the little people who are their products users want. Weeeelllll.... not really. MRW The author of the article goes on to say that an "industry insider" says that Google/Youtube is worried about Facebook's video platform becoming a competitor to Youtube. I can see it happening as people who already have Facebook accounts can just directly upload to Facebook and not have to have a Google/Youtube account. I don't think advertisements exist on uploaded Facebook videos yet either, but I might be wrong. If Google/Youtube would just stop screwing up the website (in terms of design and creator bias) then they wouldn't have to be worried I think. But what do I know. Alright guys today's sponsor is....

Why not remove all ads entirely?

That'll work just fine!

Oh wait, Servers cost money...

Yay for adblock.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
