    From a technological perspective I think this arms race is very interesting to watch and observe.

    From a user perspective, I hope that enough people get fed up by this that they leave YouTube and the creators that can currently only create on YouTube, since all of their users are there, go somewhere else with their users.

    I can dream…

      The users ain’t gonna leave until the content does and these ads don’t really affect the content creators negatively. And it’s a massive undertaking to create a new host from the ground up that can compete with YouTube’s scale.
