From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

These videos wouldn't exist without YouTube commercials.
Exactly, then it could have just been a text list on a webpage and we'd all be better off.
It wouldn't have been anything, because it wouldn't have been worth the creator's time to make.
Damn I forgot no content existed online and could be profitable before YouTube came along and saved us all from the dark ages.
It did exist. And still does. But it was never profitable. Especially not small scale.
Only because Google is become a blight on human progression.
There are better ways to make things profitable than wasting people's time.
Yeah you can pay for YouTube Premium 🤷
