Another problem is they ruined their own search with AI.
Kicked themselves right in the nuts.
They're even shoving AI into Youtube by placing a summary in plain text below some videos now. Don't know if it's opt-in or just randomly placed for testing but so far I'm not impressed because it skips over important things. I'm honestly puzzled as to why the hell they're doing this.
They get revenue from the pre roll ad while you read the summary. Then they don't have to pay the creator when you click away before watching.
And then they'll stop having creators creating free content for their advertisement sceme to work. Genius!
