But we dont have to accept it. We do have options. We have tolerated and tolerated and more gets taken. More of our money, more of our privacy, more of our time, bit by bit we sacrifice a bit of us.

There has to be a line where we say we are more than just consumers. We don’t just go out to work to pay for stuff upon stuff. We do have our own minds, our own opinions.

Yes it has been like that. But we have to stop perpetuating it.

It sounds a little crazy, but we have to start somewhere and YT is a great starting point to stop. They are not interested in enriching you. They wanna keep you addicted so they can make money from advertisers. It’s interesting how many people rationalise and justify that argument. I’d call it an abusive relationship but maybe I see it too black and white. You can watch it without ads. It’s not entirely about hating the platform. More a mindset of regaining freedom.
