good. hopefully this will improve the quality for the first time in 14 years or so. Monetization is essentially synonymous with enshittification. Less monetization -> less enshittification. Less need to put stupid red arrows and bug eyes on your thumbnails. etc. I don't even care if youtube is just straight taking all the difference. Anything to decrease the number of people who are in it for the money is good.
I see a lot of quality. And none of these people, even though a lot of them are pretty damn popular, will be making money anymore.
good
