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

Competition. It's all about competition between companies. In highly saturated markets ads serve to build brand recognition and are seen as long term investment to gain market share. Good example is TikTok. The social media market is very much saturated and competition very high, so TikTok's strategy was to buy every ad they could to create brand recognition, which in turn helped gaining market share.
So I don't think the ad business is a bubble at all, it's just that the usefulness and function depends on the market a company competes within.

I find using it in a browser clunky. Much prefer a dedicated app (now I use Tubular), which gives some extra functions like downloads, history and playlists.

Can confirm. As soon as I turn off personalized ads, I get nothing but "find hot ladies in your area" and "play this hentai game" ads across all Google products. It's ridiculous.

Do you think a GrayJay will stand o a NewPipe for this?

Patreon has it's own internal hosting, yes. But is it still leaning on Azure/AWS? shrug Probably.

And that's probably what will kill them as payouts get worse and worse making other platforms more attractive as you're not losing as much. A lot of YouTubers I follow seem to becoming more and more reliant on Patreon as ad revenue goes down.

Neat finds) That was not my point though. I just use yt-dlp and don't feel the need to have a server for my multiple files. I just was wondering if I could help share the preserved content somewhere. I could just link to the torrents on my website, but that wouldn't be of much use because no one ever would think of searching there...

I feel like the can opener in the Flintstones.

K. Keep using a service you hate then, I guess.

There's literally porn ads on yt. Recently an acquaintance of mine got one of those "Look what she said when she saw the size of his dick. You can have a bigger dick if you just buy our product", with plenty of suggestive imagery. And scam ads. My mother got scammed because of a youtube ad pretending to sell products in the name of a famous brand of supermarkets in my region.
