I think it's better because piracy sites aren't flooded with fake Ai soundtracks, fake videos and bullshit. People want authenticity and truthfulness.

ads? What is this, 2013?

Do you people not use ublock?

Its better because you get high quality content for free but thats not what was ment. It was comparing yt vs piracy sites and saying that google is choosing to run more ads. I'm saying not really it just costs way more so more ads need to be ran.

But yeah I run adblock but most users dont.
