How is YouTube getting crappier for me as a paying customer? I feel like it hasn't really changed in years.
Glad you enjoy it. Keep doing your thing. But are you seriously deaf to the rising chorus of complaints about YouTube? This thread contains many examples of youtube's enshitification over the few couple years. Your question feels disingenuous at best to me
Name one complaint, other than blocking people with ad blockers. How has the actual product changed?
The worsening of recommendations/algorithm pointing to more crap content
4k premium only (decision reversed due to consumer outcry)
Increased family plan sharing restrictions
Inability to purchase only YouTube music
Price increases
Inability to remove shorts from homescreen (decision reversed due to consumer outcry)
The death of Google music
