The YouTube Partnership Program is an opportunity for YouTube users that, after surpassing a certain amount of subscribers and views, allows the user to profit off of advertising revenue and paid promotions. However, it was also mischievously designed to fuck over smaller channels that have not yet met their requirements to be eligible for the YouTube Partnership Program by cockweeds that only care about the product first and creativity second.
There are rumors that, long ago, the YouTube website actually rewarded creativity and originality. No complicated algorithms based on watch time and upload frequency that only seem to be programmed to benefit the advertisers that give YouTube money. No Paul brothers or RiceGums to plague the platform due to how these ridiculous algorithms work. No random users playing a monetization lottery and sometimes getting several videos deleted or even their entire channel suspended. Just a site of pure, wild fun for the world to enjoy and share.
But in any case, this is what we have now. Thanks.

Friend: "Hey, I heard you're eligible for the YouTube Partnership Program! That's awesome!"
User: "Actually, those regulations were just changed. Guess I'll have to post hundreds of vlogs and diss tracks to even stand a chance now."

Some of the most effortless yet most entertaining YouTubers to watch and/or listen to. The auto generated TTS (text to speech) is so nice to hear that no-one really questions why.

This is the most useful extension for watching a YouTube video seamlessly without getting interrupted by Google's petty ads (Why does big companies ruin everything single innocent thing anyway?)
Basically, it just blocks every single ad that tries to bother you and keep you away from watching your video. This includes ads that are inappropriate and not safe for children. It seems so necessarily, and the good thing is, most of them are free! Yay! No ads! Literally a haven for us, right?
Not for long. YouTube used to be the best and only video site I relied on for years, but now it's a goddang mess in this 2020s decade. It's a pile of kaka that smells like greed. You know why?
IN AROUND 2023, THEY LITERALLY JUST BUILT A SYSTEM THAT ABSOLUTELY ERADICATES EVERY SINGLE AD-BLOCKER, DISPLAY A BLACK SCREEN SO THAT THE BEAUTIFUL VIDEO YOU'RE WATCHING CAN'T PLAY, AND SHOWS YOU THE TEXT:
‘Ad-blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service’
Like dude, who the hell would read ToSes? I mean, good for you if you had the time and balls to read them, but this is inhumane to sane people. There are millions of people using YouTube, and the majority can't waste their time having to buy premium for just the sake of ‘removing ads’. There are thousands of poor people, you know?
A literal dumb move that Google pulled-off out of their scummy arses. YouTube was good before, and now they're making it dystopic and unpleasant and immoral, and… yeah.
I hope the world will be better soon :`)

Person from 2022: Oh god, these YouTube Ad-Blockers are saving me a ton of time to not watch these annoying ads that come out of my (f-word)-ing screen! Enabling extensions like this make me feel like I'm in heaven! Betchya YouTube couldn't do anything about it >:D
Person from 2024: Erm, actually, you can't use them anymore, since YouTube (or Google actually) heard about this situation and just straight up built a system that blocks every ad-blocker and notifies you with a black screen telling you that you ‘violated’ their ToS and that YouTube Ads actually ‘benefit’ those you watch and create the wonders of art.
Person from 2022: For realsies? I am gonna experience this in 2 years?
Person from 2024: Yeah, sorry, bro. The world got way worse after COVID, at least in terms of technology, but even then we still have global warming. This planet sucks, and it's our fault.
Person from 2022: True, and to you, Google, insults Google in the most unfriendly manner. I WILL BLOCK YOUR HEART ARTIERIES, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, GOOGLE??? (F-WORD) YOU CAPITALISM, AND GREEDY BIG COMPANIES! Drops f-bomb and shows their middle finger
Person from 2024: Uh… you consider that if Google hears about this, and about free speech, um…
Person from 2022: Friendly goodbye, then goes outside and touches grass

A Youtube smack is when you call someone over, play a really long video, and at the end, reveal to them that it's a Youtube video. The purpose of this is usually to satisfy them with a good amount of progress so they can relax when they get back home. Sometimes, if you know each other well, this is done on their account, conveniently saving the progress for them. If it's on your account, they can simply buffer the end of the video on their account when they get back home and the video will automatically be finished for them.
Friend 1: I Youtube smacked Vincent yesterday.
Friend 2: Really?
Friend 1: Yeah. Now he's spending today just relaxing at home.
Friend 2: What video?
Friend 1: Since it was the only day we'd be meeting this week, I used a half an hour long restoration video.
Friend 2: Well it sure is nice to be satisfied, isn't it?
Friend 1: Yeah.
