You mean like Ubisoft just did?
As far as I understood this was a dismissable static ad so youtube's ads will be 10x worse
Of course. And you know where is the end of this line? When we are allowed to rent (DRM) the games for absurd amount of money or for a sane one but with ads every 5 minutes. Add a microtransaction that blocks ads for 15 minutes in MMOs to the mix and maybe have less ads shown on big streamers' accounts so it doesn't look that bad on let's plays
Or just sail the high seas. The only place safe from enshitification.
