Also this seems to be the safest way as your account not linked to freetube. Yt looses all data like age, likes and comments. Only the number of views gives them any feedback. This will bring down yt. All we need is time to work out alternatives. Yt censorship and demonetizing rules are killing the platform anyway.

    I don't think anything is killing the platform as the longstanding ones seem pretty durable. Reddit did just fine throughout the API exodus and Twitter has somehow managed to survive Musk's repeated and constant attempts to kill it. There will be enough viewers on youtube that will take whatever Google decides to throw at them. Don't ask me why but a large portion of the viewers( redditors and tweeters, etc) just don't care enough to make a change.
