What if the delivered content is subpar?

I have watched ads (ie paid with my attention).

How do I get my money back?

No refunds. You can't demand a refund from a movie theater because you hated a movie, and you can't return a new game to Best Buy because you hated the game. I don't understand why you'd imply YouTube content comes with any "satisfaction guarantee."

A move or a game is a piece of art. A newsarticle can have objectively incorrect information, which makes it like a TV with broken pixels.
