Back pre-2006, before Google bought YouTube, there were no ads. That’s right, No Ads on Youtube. Then 2007 came and Google started doing us dirty. I pine for ad-free YT again. I have the issue using Invidious on PC that won’t load age-restricted content (no workaround still), and NewPipe on Android occassionally wants me to sign-in to confirm I’m not a bot.

Yeah but operating at a loss while gaining market share in order to get bought out by a bigger company was/is the MO of internet companies.
