"Just announced by YouTube, the website will be limiting the amount of Subscriptions a non-premium user can have, as well as limiting the amount of likes and comments a user without YouTube Premium can use per day. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan has described the decision as "a measure to prevent voting and comment manipulation" and said that "most YouTube users will not be affected by the change."
"YouTube content creators such as however, are furious. Creators like Markiplier are calling the move "disgusting and money-hungry, with no consideration for the users that make YouTube all of its content."
"No statement has been made yet on how limiting the amount of comments and likes free users can use will affect the algorithm for these creators"
Death to Google
Youtube comments are awful. Critical support for Youtube in limiting them.
Yesterday I was sincerely thinking they should just remove the comment feature entirely, it's all the same comments under a video anyway like "Wow, nice result" or "I didn't know you could do that!"
Where are the jokes and additional info from knowledgeable commentors like we had in 2010? It all seems generated by the same LLM these days. Search engines are terrible since November last year, comments have become drivel, now they want to limit how much content you can consume (edit: referring to twitter limits)... I don't like this version of the internet
