    This is a long time coming. Who in their right mind thought that a service that allows pretty much anyone to upload gigabytes of videos would be free forever. I get that people don’t like ads, but the amount of outrage is overkill.

      It’s less about not liking ads and more that the ads are plagued with scams, spam and whatever else.

      Don’t we think that they should be held accountable for the type of ads they run on there? Crypto scams, get rich quick, and mlms to name a few.

      The same goes for the MSN homepage it’s fucking ridiculous.

      Also, if they want to serve me ads, then stop selling my data too. If I sign up for premium they’ll still sell your data anyway.

      I am not really in a place where I would want to defend billion dollar companies.
