    It’s stupid it’s location based at all. Especially alienating PAYING customers, you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Accept that they’re paying and fuck off.

    I’ll never subscribe to YouTube again, Revanced on phone (or Firefox and ublock), smarttube on tv.

      Services will continue to try to squeeze more blood from the stone and then throw up their hands at why they are losing paying subscribers who don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for cheap reality programming or user-created content. 🤷‍♂️
