    I knew Google would get around to killing YouTube sooner or later: Looks like the slow death has begun.

    Like all things Google that people like: It must die, Google will not allow it to live.

    Coming to you in 2025: GoogleTube, brought to you by Alphabet!

      there’s enough people mindlessly consuming content off the site via mobile or tv, or are clueless about adblockers to begin with, youtube will continue to exist and be profitable even if every adblocking user never visited the site again.

        Until alternatives take off because the user experience becomes increasingly shitty. You really think Google isn’t going to ratchet up the ads over time?
