New article title. YouTube tests more ways of making their service shit and driving away users.

Edit: TIFO Scott Manley is on Odysee so i will start watching him there instead. One less yt channel is always a good thing

I mean, if you're not paying for it, and they can't advertise to you, what do they need you for?
