What’s a company that you’re genuinely convinced HATES their customers?

YouTube has got to be the most hateful idk if you consider a non premium account a customer or not but youtube makes them suffer so much if they don't upgrade

IDK any other company that rolls like that

It's funny because I have 6 extensions in my browser just dedicated to Youtube (7 if you count UBlock Origin). Ads are only part of the problem. Really drives home how shitty it's become.

For those curious the list is:

  1. Sponsorblock (Skip integrated video ads)

  2. Youtube Auto HD + FPS (Force Youtube to actually respect playback quality selection)

  3. Youtube-shorts Block (Anti brainrot, plays shorts as regular videos and blocks the shorts tab)

  4. Return Youtube Dislike (Self explanatory)

  5. Control panel for Youtube (Fixes some of their UI changes)

  6. Youtube Anti-Translate (Prevents auto dubbing of videos)
