Some of you have probably heard that YT wants to bypass ad blockers by injecting ads directly into the stream server-side.

They assume you'll succumb to your dopamine addiction and give up. Or that you'll subscribe to their premium service. Don't do that, it's a trap.

First, it costs $10/month. Then, when enough addicts have subscribed, they increase the price. And then they increase it again. And then they say, "we could insert a little advertising. At least at the beginning and the end." And then comes 1-2 ads in between. And then they increase the price again. And so on.

Don't fall for it, educate them instead. Collectively. Simply avoid YT. Until add-on developers have caught up (might happen quicker than we think. They're probably working on it already). Or switch to other video services.

Content creators, start looking for alternative platforms to upload your stuff. Don't go down with them.

Have a bit of honor, don't get fooled in the same way every time. Invest in one streaming service you like and forget about YT and the rest. Don't give them another $10. Instead, buy Bitcoin with it. Read a book.
