Absolutely correct decision. YouTube is just so incredibly poor. They really need money guys. In fact, we should set up a donations page to support this great organization that totally respects its users and artists while being very strict against spam, dangerous misinformation and state funded propaganda! /s

True. In fact, anyone using an ad blocker is actually a thief, and anyone with a VPN is probably a criminal. /s

They are so poor and so small that they can't curate the content and ads, it's just too much with only billions of dollars of profit to work with.
