    How is YouTube getting crappier for me as a paying customer? I feel like it hasn’t really changed in years.

      Glad you enjoy it. Keep doing your thing. But are you seriously deaf to the rising chorus of complaints about YouTube? This thread contains many examples of youtube’s enshitification over the few couple years. Your question feels disingenuous at best to me
