Why you noobs not want to know what relevant industry businesses are doing with their marketing and how often? You get to learn so much from clicking on ads and investigating the business, that WE should have to pay to click! lol
I think, its only the poor performing mouse click potatoes that complain.

I get the best free music I love to listen to, and tutorials on every subject. And I can make money on this platform. All I have to do is click a button to skip? LOL I must click and move my mouse thousands if not 10's thousands of times a day, what's the trouble to direct some of that on the skip ads button for 2 seconds? Maybe I'm part of the 3rd monitor country world and am too used to having it on a separate screen, so I can easily skip or watch the ads.
As a creator, I hope this leads to more revenue. That's where my interest is. Google's only greedy if they don't share this extra wealth.
Plus what the heck is wrong with having an asset, and reconfiguring your strategy to allow you to make more revenue like google? I just done this couple of weeks ago. You can too. Every other day someone asks on this forum for similar ideas to increase revenue.
Just cause google make more than you, and you rely on them for whatever, don't get into the bad habit of bitching about the next man's business doing better than me...blah blah. They are just working smart.
Let's build more content on YouTube, and take advantage of this, in the way we are meant to.
