      Yeah they made people “used” to the idea. I’m sure the next proposal will be met with less backlash than this one.

      Or maybe a third attempt will be required? Anyways the writing is on the wall.

    If only their devs weren’t lazy dumbasses, they wouldn’t need that shit to inject their ads into videos in the first place. Pathetic.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, since I’m a bit tired for parsing through the deliberately opaque wall of legalese and buzzword bullshit, but is this android api basically their way of killing YouTube frontends such as NewPipe, SmartTube and LibreTube to force their dystopian adscape on all of us again?
