I don't think I specifically posted about it on lemmy but yeah, I also concluded youtube would be going further 'pay to win' around this time 2 years ago.
Twitch will keep getting more and more monetized / ad heavy as well, until it just gets shutdown.
I'll be amazed if it still exists by the end of 2026.
They are diversifying their plans to enhance user experience or some bullshit
They even said it was a mistake when someone said they got ads before and it went viral. Google is evil.
