Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk concur with a growing chorus of YouTube users who find the proliferation of advertisements on the platform increasingly problematic.
What Happened: The video-sharing giant owned by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has long been getting targeted for increasing the number of ads shown to users accessing its free tier.
During the weekend, a Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) designer who goes by the name DogeDesigner on X (formerly Twitter) shared this sentiment, saying, “YouTube has more ads that the rest of the websites combined on the whole internet,” Musk couldn’t help but agree that “It’s getting out of control.”
