    The whole thing is ass, and I watch less youtube because I don’t want to be bothered.

      Yep, I noticed that as well. Google has diversified to another industry though recently: AI spam.

    I’ve heard that if you want to sit through their Copyright violation series, they still use Happy Tree Friends videos they commissioned. At least I saw some show that about two years ago
