I use it too but find it isn't kept up by the community nearly as much as sponsor block

I tried it but it slows down loading YouTube in Firefox too much ale it's not as kept up as I would like it to. Out of my subscriptions only LTT and Tom Scott videos are ever maintained in there.

Yup, max out the potential for a channel so start another one and so on It's quite the furious wheel they have spinning

I feel like growth is poison for content companies, especially niche content. I get where a million-view video and the associated cash is great reward. I get that people can consume content so much faster than it's created that a known creator's revenue is limited only by the rate they produce. Gotta be tempting to squeeze just a little more, cover a less interesting topic, or skip a difficult detail to get that extra bit of revenue. It's the fundamental process of enshittification, and it works on everything from LTT to EA to walmart.

Expecting people to give up money, rewards and fame - to stay a small dedicated provider with ideological purity - when there are crowds outside the door begging for just a little compromise, just this one time, is a big ask. But it's also why there's so much churn in media. Young turk comes in with great content, gets an audience, gives in to enshittification, and gets replaced by the next young turk.

Stopped when Linus showed his continued ignorance towards Linux, his Stockholm Syndrome towards Windows and his general lack of geekiness. He is an ignoramus playing "Legos" and wants to see results, that's it.

Yep, that’s about when I told YouTube to not recommend that channel.

They wouldn't do it if it didn't work, unfortunately.

The dearrow extension normally has pretty sane titles for the videos. I cannot take a look at most of youtube without it.
