I'll one-up the boomerness and say youtube ruined youtube
I miss YouTube actually being YOU tube. It was originally supposed to be a place for the common person to post their videos and find an audience, but now it's devolved into YouTube Music, YouTube TV, and even regular YouTube is heavily dominated by for-profit, high production value full-time content creators. It's become just as commercialized as old TV was except that instead of commercials it's sponsorships and paid reviews even if you adblock away the actual ads. Everyone panders to YouTube's inane rules now because heaven forbid they get DEMONITIZED!
