For now.

Shit tons of people are paying for it. And the ones that aren’t, are viewing ads- both of these things are a profit for YouTube.

The only option you have is to not use the services at all. This is how you hurt them.

So… wasn’t Rittenhouse justified by these people for killing someone that was guilty of something similar?

No human being is “illegal.” This is a very overused and thinly-veiled way to admit you’re a racist while expecting others to miss the context.

So, you believe in imaginary lines drawn on maps that allow people to justify the persecution of others simply because they walked a few feet in a specific direction?

Agreed. Seems there no floor to what people will put up with from them. I can’t understand it. I’ve tried products and services I found that I absolutely hated. I don’t have those products or services anymore.

It’s pretty easy to not do something.

Me too. I never try to come off as pushy on the topic. Just suggesting an option, but man… people haven’t responded well to it in the past.

I say this every time the topic comes up, and I’m always downvoted for it but here goes again:

YouTube is going to do this suit because YouTube CAN do this shit. It’s their company. They can enshitify it as much as they’d like. And they WILL enshitify it as much as they like as long as people continue to use it.

How long have they been in existence now? 18-19 years? And with every year they gets worse and worse, while growing bigger and bigger. Why do you think that is?

Could it be because they know that although everyone will bitch about them, complain about them, and write scathing tech articles about them- people will still gobble their shit up regardless.

Don’t like what YouTube is doing? Maybe think about not using it. Because as long as you’re participating- either by creating content or viewing it- you are a big part of the reason they’re getting away with doing this shit.

Downvote away.

Considering the fact that you say, “your country,” I’m left to assume you don’t live here and therefore are here simply to antagonize, as you’re offering absolutely nothing worthwhile to the discussion.

Tagging you as irrelevant and moving on.

Oh, and maybe don’t assume someone mental health if you know nothing about them. It’s bad form and generally frowned upon to insult people before you even get to your point.

Just some free advice for ya. Do with it what you will.

Naah. I’m going to blame the people that could have tipped the balance by voting against trump.

His voters did what they were supposed to do.

It’s really just plain and simple garden variety entitlement. You’ll find that people with little to lose themselves, have absolutely no issue whatsoever when it comes to sacrificing things that others have to lose.

Wether it be white privilege, affluence, being cis, male, what have you…

The end result will be the same:

People will suffer, and when the smoke has cleared, the entitled will refuse to be held accountable.

Well said. And they still entrench themselves in their entitlement thinking that somehow- it’s the people who voted for the one person that could stop him alongside the one person that could stop him- that helped get him elected.

It couldn’t have had anything at all to do with people who couldn’t be bothered to vote at all, or people that purposefully voted third party to “send a message” as they called it.

Now, their protest was either successful or a colossal failure, depending on how you frame their responsibility for the outcome.

If I said what I’d really like to have done to this… man, I would probably find myself banned from this community.

I didn’t see the Harris administration conquering Gaza Strip and planting an American flag on it, or all trans people being denied military service and losing protections against discrimination, or them installing a non-elected blowhard weasel to run the financial department of our government.

I also didn’t see the Harris administration wasting time money and energy in renaming the Gulf of Mexico, or making threats to other countries, or talk about conquering Greenland, Mexico, and Canada.

I didn’t see them plunging the US into several soon-to-be failed trade wars.

I didn’t see the Harris administration removing DEI protections for marginalized people, or scrubbing any trace of mention about trans people from government run websites.

I didn’t see them pulling American out of environmental agreements, or dismantling the entire education department.

I didn’t see the Harris administration firing governmental employees that investigated trump for his multiple criminal acts, or revamping the Justice Department with her own personal lawyers.

Seriously, do you even read the news? Do you think nothing else’s is happening aside from the one issue you can’t seem to look away from? Is your entitlement so blinding that you cannot see in the periphery? Not a single fucking person ever said shit would be ideal under Harris and the democrats-

…but we KNEW it wouldn’t be this shit.

So… we get to say we told you this would happen. We get to blame this on you. We get to have this consolation of righteous indignation because we were the ones that tried to stop it while all you get to claim responsibility for is effectively protesting trump into office-

intentionally, or not.

At least its not Kamala, soooo…. Win, right?

Entitlement is far more dangerous when mixed with ignorance.

Third party votes number around a little over 3 million.

So you know.

Is that the current hand-waiving you all have chosen to use?

“Well, it was already going to happen exactly like this anyway!”

…. While not one of you even called anything happening that was remotely anywhere close to this. Meanwhile, we all told you almost exactly they this would happen.

There needs to be a way to extend the dudes life so he can experience every single one of those years.

And it should be solitary.
