And exactly as I thought instead of education and simplifying workflows purposes these companies' "AI's" will be used to generate a "better" ads experience for you. Absolutely disgusting.

While they are still available use the Ad Blockers or FreeTube App if you want to see more sane and adequate ytb like it used to be long time ago.

I just got a message from #Yahoo in which they update their terms of use and where they forbid the usage of #Adblockers. Well, it's over now, Yahoo.
