Why does any of the value they've brought to you and others preclude a shitty and predatory business decision? I've had their pro membership for years, but the fake youtube video is some premium, grade A dogshit.

That's a totally reasonable point of view. I guess I just don't think that's worse than any other ad bullshit. My bar has been set by my experience. Of all the wars we're losing, ads isn't one I fight anymore. But I understand it's a big deal for people.
