What's the end game with YouTube? Will it eventually cut all videos and show nothing but ads?
The ironic part is that there was a time where I'd watch hours long compilation videos of funny ads, and even now I watch 90s nostalgia ones set to vaporwave mixes. Hell, every person and their grandmother I knew at one time watched the Superbowl "just for the ads".
At some point, the goal of marketing shifted from "How do we keep your attention/whimsy" to "How can we force unwilling participants to comply?" Fuck that fascismo shit.
That's always been the goal of marketing.
