Dear Youtube: Bring back the downvote count, allow me to disable shorts, allow me to disable your bullshit annoying ass startup music, then half the price and then we'll talk about paying for your "service".

    Being able did disable content you don't want aside from ads with a paid membership would be a huge boon.

    Killing shorts would be fantastic, and they shouldn't care if I'm not using a feature as long as I'm paying.

    Why would they ever do that when they can make the website more intrusive and annoying to use?

    The problem is that they make it unreasonable when they get greedy and many people don't tolerate their shit. This isn't a "people won't pay for the service" problem. We've all paid for streaming services. I personally won't when it feeds into their shenanigans.
