I don't think the grunts get to decide. youtube is now governed by the dude who used to run AdSense, and has a mandate to fix revenue losses.

If you use YouTube this much, just get YT Premium maybe? It comes with YT Music, which seems like 70% as good as Spotify to me.

Do you think a random Youtube employee makes that decision and can just drop it lower?

No, but feedback goes into the machine in odd ways. This has a 1000x higher factor of being considered and thought of more than any other forum.

Firefox and ublock origin, or... Just pay for it
