The only way that's ever happened in history is to turn a free-to-view service funded by advertising into a subscription one with advertising as a supplementary funding mechanism. It's what satellite and cable television did and I suspect YouTube is slowing moving toward by making the free service so frustrating that their viewers will beg to pay.
Same though I'll happily use it if all the adblock and sponsorblock enhancements make it a normal viewing experience. When those things stop working for good I'm out.
Good to know. I use YouTube through the brave browser app and it works pretty damn well. Even lets me play stuff with my phone screen off (a setting in Brave, not YouTube of course)
Every company has three books. The actual numbers, the ones shown to investors, and the public numbers. This is why money laundering can be done so easily
When YouTube had all the keys and Advertisers had to play by their game was when they had all the advantages. Then Mama Susan played the short game giving advertisers more control and fucked up everything. Now they've been chasing revenue uphill instead of having the advertisers coming to them to use their platform under their control.
More like they've reached the size of their market, but need to expand or show they are expanding to get investors or big advertising.

Since they deliberately hid basic bitch features like background play on their app behind the pay wall, I tend to agree.

I'm confused what hasn't happened in history.
I still want someone to explain to me why a company the size and magnitude of Google requires investors.

It delights (them) to have someone else to pay for making their goy slop propagandas
