I’ve been a premium user for a while now and the platform has never been shittier than now. I pay for premium but I see integrated ads in videos and nowadays YouTube sneakily includes actual product videos in your home feed as if that’s not an ad. Recommendations have sucked for so long that I don’t remember the last time I watched something good on it. Inclusion of yt music was the thing that kept me on the subscription but shit man
How is this bundling even legal. YouTube ist pretty much a Monopoly and they are using this fact to push YouTube Music. If that's Not anti competitive behaviour what ist?
It's not being prosecuted, so its legal. Everyone's been properly paid off. If push comes to shove, Clarence Thomas will get a new RV and any lawsuits will be dismissed, but for now only the EU seems interested in internet regulation.
How most regulations work, actually. From food to consumer electronics. And yes, that includes your bad dragon.
"Its not an rv. Its a motor coach." - Clarence Thomas
I think the EU should step in and force Google not to bundle Music.
