Video uploading sites are supposed to be free. Social media is meant for the masses. Of course a user has the right to maintain privacy. In this case, video uploading sites like Peertube, rumble gives the option of keeping the video private. There's also a provision for unlisted videos, which can be watched only when the person has access to the link. Otherwise watching videos on social media is free.

Only youtube has this system of paying for watching videos.

So my question is, is there any means of cracking youtube so that we can have a share of the paid content as well ?

app.rvx.android.youtube

It mimicks YouTube premium. Has built-in AdBlock and sponsor block.

There is also SmartTube for your Android TV.

Sometimes it's a bit glitchy, but it does what it's supposed to. Google doesn't like these apps very much of course, so you won't find them on Google Play.

They won't give you access to paid content, but they'll remove all the BS
