#21: Youtube Ruining Their Website
Say what you will about YouTube, but it’s a platform that knows how to shoot itself in the foot with style. Let’s take a moment to appreciate their ingenious strategy of bombarding users with an ungodly amount of ads. Who needs content when you can have a never-ending stream of commercials interrupting every video? And let’s not forget their brilliant move of removing the public dislike count, because why bother with transparency and feedback when you can live in blissful ignorance?
Oh, and who could resist the allure of YouTube Premium, a subscription that promises an ad-free experience, but at a price that could rival a small country’s GDP. It’s truly a masterclass in alienating your user base while simultaneously milking them for every penny. Well done, YouTube, you’ve certainly earned a gold medal in corporate self-sabotage.
