Also with Youtube, what's the fucking point? Am I not supposed to watch videos anymore, and just read the slop summary? Doesn't that counter the engagement they want on videos?

You mean watch all the ads for 20 minutes on your 5 minute video? Where is my AI ad summary so I can skip that?

I run adblock on the PC but youtube / google isn't getting my money. Ill just stop watching the video when the ads appear on the tv app etc.
