I don't want to pay what they're asking no.

Mmm not the whole truth, and that is why they get away with it:

Netflix does similar things it would seem

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

https://piped.video/4Q3ZXQZZlcE?si=bZLNupgMEnn_uWDS

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

What other video platforms does Louis Rossmann upload his stuff to, by the way?

He does, you know. But I notice you aren't watching him there.

Not sure I use a proxy application to watch YouTube videos

So you could be using and supporting alternate platforms, but YouTube is so valuable to you that you don't bother.

Who said I don’t? Why can’t I use both?

You’re trying to fabricate a point here, and I just don’t think it fits me

I don't believe you do because you would've linked to it instead of YouTube. You claim to hate that business, yet you direct people to engage on it.

You're getting on a moral high horse about how it's fair and right to pirate from YouTube because of their bad behavior, yet when given a free alternative platform to view the videos from a creator you respect enough to link, you don't. You go to YouTube.

Let's give an example:

I think you underestimate how much pirates and the opposition truly hate google and their practices and the lengths they will go to in order to get the content they want.

Apparently not very hard at all, since there was a totally Google-free way to get the content you want that supports the creator even better and is free and yet here you are not using it.

I Square peg doesn’t fit the round hole.

I linked the video out of my application, which links google. Further, less people would reach his content if I posted an invidious, piped, etc link if they aren’t familiar (and my target audience isn’t people using these services, so obviously I would choose the option that would get my target audiences attention best)
I don’t represent that entire community, as much as you’d like to repaint me into a group. I’m an individual who shares some things in common with masses, and other things are unique to me.
Moral high ground? It’s fucking simple. Give me quality service for what I pay, or I go elsewhere.

I’m done arguing with you about MY OWN viewpoint which I think everyone else very clearly understands.

Talk about being on a high horse LMAO the irony.

You legitimately do not understand that there are alternatives to YouTube. It's fucking embarrassing.

Give me quality service for what I pay, or I go elsewhere.
Apparently not. You'll keep going there no matter how much you claim to hate them.

And that's no small part of why Google has such market control. Because people like you give it to them enthusiastically.

PS: it's Rumble. That's the actual alternative (with a HEAVY emphasis on the "alt" in "alternative") you could use to watch Rossmann if you really are so passionate about how bad Google is. Plus Rossmann also is one of the cofounders of GrayJay.
