      This is very possibly a Google employee, every big company in the world now has rooms full of people constantly astroturfing this shit and it works very well. It works so well that this comment will be downvoted to oblivion. It’s also virtually guaranteed that it will be responded to with a condescending, paternalistic post about how “lol bruh everybody who thinks different than you do must be a shill” or something similar - also not unlikely to be paid for.

      Edit: Predictable, but not entirely unexpected. For anyone reading this, use LibRedirect browser extension to point all your YouTube links to a different front end.

        Oh no! Someone is going against the anti YouTube circlejerk by saying that it’s personally worth it for them to pay for the service. Obviously a paid actor. No one who isn’t paid by google would ever dare to express that kind of sentiment on a relevant discussion thread, of course. Lmao.

        Edit: Lol I love how you added your prediction that you’d be downvoted after being downvoted, and after I left my comment. For those who didn’t see, he edited the comment to add everything after the first sentence after being met with resistance making it seem like he predicted the downvotes and my response. I wish I was being paid to clown on this moron haha. What a sad pathetic fucking loser lol.
