As was mentioned in a previous topic no one else can enter the market because it would cost too much to run a playform like YT. There seems to be a disconnect between people saying it should remain free without ads and also accepting it costs a lot to run.

how about keep all the features(or rather literally NOT slowly move them behind the paywall) but still have ads?

nah that totally wouldnt work since it gives the illusion that ads alone wont support the site without billions in profit for investors
