Somewhere along the way someone at YouTube realized if they made ad delivery as complex as possible, their ad customers basically can't tell if they're actually doing what they say.

    Yeah, that's something people often forget about enshittification.

    It starts by fucking up the user experience, sure, but on its second stage it fucks up the customers' experience too, and in its final stage it goes against even the shareholders.

    Then the company dies, and the suits run off with the money, to infect and destroy other companies and eventually whole industries.
