Cards on the table: for Google money I'd do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it's an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a "free" product's bad qualities harder to circumvent isn't the ethical hill I'm going to die on.

But, who's their competitor? They have none. All the other alternative have very specific community (artsy short film, science, etc)

And it sucks, not a lot of them federate because video storage is expensive
