This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Look, I'm no fan of ads, but... It's a free service that costs an ungodly amount of money to run. They've gotta make money somehow.
Of course the whole running it at a loss for a decade thing means they had to go the enshittification route. Could've had more ads and a subscription option long ago but they wanted to lull us into a false sense of security first :/
I honestly don't know what people here on Lemmy want them to do. If you don't want ads then you can pay the subscription.
You can't expect the largest video platform to be free and without ads, they have to pay to host all of the videos somehow.
If anyone has a serious alternative to ads or subscription while still being able to pay for the hosting then maybe start your own service and use that as the USP?
