From ABC

"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

    limiting the amount of likes and comments a user without YouTube Premium can use per day

    This is unironically a good thing and they should have done it sooner. YouTube comments are cursed and the only thing that would make the site better is fewer of them.
