Yeah, I'm always torn on that one. Technically I watch more Youtube than many of the streaming services I do pay a subscription for. It shouldn't be a bridge too far to move one of the ones I use least to YT.

At the same time the idea that YT is a fundamentally user-driven, social platform is still there. It's very debatable at this point, but it's at the core of the idea, so it's a hard adjustment to make.

And Google going ham on trying to close loopholes and enshittify their closed platform with no recourse is such a reversal of that pitch it's very hard not to go "well, screw you" and see how far you can push back.
