> STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT ADS

No.

I believe you missed/ignored a few facts in your screed:

1. Ads are a malware surface

2. Ads are used to pass misinformation and other harmful content

Google is failing to perform its due diligence as an ad platform for both sides of the ad two-sided market.

Ergo, my browser connection will continue to use its condoms.

Further, Google paid for little to any content creation that is loaded to YouTube. $14 subscription for hosting the median watcher's content is extreme. Charge the content creators for hosting as they are the beneficiaries with in-video subscription advertisements.
