Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months

Let's just say, unless YouTube crosses people's bottom lines and there's an alternative being actively advertised, people won't move.
Otherwise, they push that bottom line further.

Does Firefox on iOS have extensions? I have to use Orion by Kagi to get extensions on iOS.

Afaik, business units are individual. Their products don't finance each other.

Can I dm you a question about google ad spending?

Agreed. Seems there no floor to what people will put up with from them. I can’t understand it. I’ve tried products and services I found that I absolutely hated. I don’t have those products or services anymore.
It’s pretty easy to not do something.

When they’re every few minutes, screw that. I do.

YouTube runs at a loss, as far as I am aware. The other businesses prop it up. They run it, even at a loss, because they harvest data from it.

And the user experience I should expect depends on their stupid hierarchy for reasons I should care about, I'm sure, but still I find myself not. Choosing to enshittify is a choice. Choosing a business model that depends on coercion into an ecosystem that will become enshittified after accumulating a critical mass is another, even more evil choice. Doing it while those cheering loudest are the ones being fucked hardest (I mean, there's still a "certain line" between how badly "certain groups" are discriminated against, but let's keep things broad here because we all know the in-group is going to shrink... you know the poem, those that don't speak up and all that) is yet another choice and one that I'm not willing to join. Doing it while playing monopolistic games arguably even more strongly than Microsoft did when it got hit with a Nynex-level antitrust suit is a step even further down the fuck-me-brick road. The list goes on. Have you met Android??? Google's motto used to be Don't Be Evil. Yeah, I'm at least that old. Fight me.
