I feel like extensions are pretty savvy for fixing this. If not, I will waste less time on YouTube. Hell, why not another big site getting over my limit for hoops that are worth jumping through vs value I get.

Yup, a lot of my time got wasted on YouTube… I watched “educational” and “interesting” videos but I have to say that many of the creators got caught into enshittification process too… I would do well with 95% reduction in watch time. However, if they start a real war against adblockers… 100% reduction will it be.

The 10min minimum is why I pretty much stopped posting. If you don’t provide enough viewing time for 2 pre-rolls and one intermission your revenue per 1k views drops off and you don’t get promoted to new viewers.
