1. Complex can be good, that's not the point, it's a disorganised UI

2. I think the "you need special knowledge" to use an interface rather proves the point right?

3. Again seems like bad UI if that grand parent found this very difficult.

4-7. Sure, you have come up with YouTube workarounds.

8. YouTube ads are a necessary evil I guess.

9. Sure.

The man in the arena is about a couple of guys in their basement daring greatly, not a multi billion dollar company! It's ridiculous to conflate the two things.

The man in the arena is about doing something with your life rather than critiquing others non constructively.

Build a better YouTube. I'd love to see how someone else caters to the millions of daily users and dozens of use cases

I don't get this reasoning at all: "products for millions of users have to be worse than necessary"
