I’d rather not use youtube than give them money for it or even sit through their intrusive ads. There are infinite ways to entertain myself.

I mean… that is the point.

Pay for premium, watch ads, or don’t watch at all. You and Google are both in agreement.

That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.

I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform. It’s not like a transportation or a food or power company monopoly, it’s one specific form of entertainment. Try going outside?
