It may not be enough to matter, but a not-insignificant number of users will simply abandon YouTube if this keeps up.

I don’t say this to discourage boycotting. Fuck google, do it if you want to!
Allready done. 😃 Some puts a YouTube link, I just scroll past. Can’t be that important if it’s on boobtube

Modern day adaptation of a much older term.
Note: don’t look up boobtube at work lol
