When did YouTube lose its soul and become a faceless corporate entity like the rest of television?

When they realized bandwidth isn't free

2007.

When Google bought it

Eventually every business ends up like this when there's money to be made. Stupid zoomers.

Hasnt youtube operated on a loss since its creation?

Thats what they say, but its most likely creative accounting, like how hollywood movies sometimes cost $100 million to make but somehow has worse actors, effects and quality as a $20M movie.
The bigger a business is, the less "profits" they make and the more likely it is they pay $0 tax due to "losses" and "growth".

for me it died when the suggestion bar stopped being related videos, but unrelated clickbait bullshit

When it became monetized and wasn't just hobbyists doing stuff for fun.

When everyone started making videos 10 minutes long because that's what makes the most money. Also google as a search engine is fucking trash. I don't want results to be catered to what their algorithm thinks I want. I'm unironically going to start using bing now.

LEMME TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT NORDVPN

Immediately when they put a marketing manager with a business background and family focus in charge.

(((monetization)))

Around 2016.

2015-17

When did the video length algorithm start? 2015?

I prefer a youtuber being sponsored to them conforming to youtube's bullshit policies

What this guy said. All the monetisation and algorithms and content policy changes stem from it.

Would be fine if they didn't shill absolute shit like Amino though.

This

When the site stopped being just reactions to shock videos.

When the original owners sold their company to Jews.

nigga it's expensive to host so many videos

>Dude let's say Youtubes objectively best era was shit lmao XDD
Reddit is that way

Well, if you're so retarded that you actually believe those sponsored ads. You deserve everything that happens to you.
