memes

Aside from complaining, make sure to do something about it. Otherwise there's no point.

1. Absolutely use uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock on all devices you watch youtube on.
2. There's a Return Youtube Dislike extension you can use. Bonus: you can use data from it to shame various' companies videos, which is what youtube primarily wanted to avoid by removing dislikes.
3. For creators mostly - there are other video-sharing websites you can post your content on (or even easily mirror your youtube uploads). Make sure to upload somewhere else too, so that more people can leave youtube forever.

Do whatever you can to harm youtube (or Google more broadly), as well as support alternatives. Memes and complaining by themselves are pointless, and solve zero issues.
