     In the eternal quest for increased revenue, YouTube is introducing a feature where rich people can like videos more than poor people, and I am about to throw up.

     It is called the hype button, and it is similar to the like button. But where likes are democratic, hypes are for pay, allowing rich kids to add as many hypes to videos as they can afford.

     This is Elon’s enshittification of Twitter all over again.

     Please criticize this feature and hit 👎 while it is free:
