You're joking but infinite growth is the broken basis of our financial system. Shareholder are legally entitled to request growth.
YouTube has cornered the earth market, they have practically no room to grow, the only thing they have left is to increase the revenue per view, so ad stuffing will get worse quarter after quarter. Eventually they'll have to put ads in the ads and play them 5 at a time.
And yet people still say "if you don't like ads, pay up" as if getting ads in a subscription is not a matter of time, like it's happening to streaming.
Yeah and YouTube already has a “pay money but still get ads plan”. And they’ll likely continue raising prices on all plans
