The "unless" part is important...

Thanks for the effort!

That doesn't affect most workers in unions, and can also be protested... by striking.

Unions couldn't do anything about it? Sure... 🙄

I appreciate that, but I don't think the vast majority support alternatives. It's just "I want it free and I want it now".

Also, if you don't support Google you most probably don't support the creators, very few of them have patreon or similar and just rely on ad revenue/sponsors.

I am not bothered by Google at all, at least in the EU you have pretty good control about the data they collect and I feel it's used well. I get pretty good recommendations on YouTube and the ads I get on other sites are at least somewhat relevant.

I see the chances of a competitor replacing it and being more privacy-friendly close to none. Maybe TikTok will replace YouTube over as GenZ takes over, and I see that as a solid negative.

That's the nice thing about unions, they don't care what politicians say ;)

I pay for Youtube, but I'm clearly in the minority. Look at all the pitchforks in this thread not willing to pay one cent or watch one ad but demanding the content...

If you watch the news and one movie you also reach 3 hours.

I watch 30 min in the morning while getting ready (usually late night shows from the previous day - mostly listening), 30 minutes to an hour during lunch (LTT, MKBHD, other tech channels or maybe a car review) and a longer session in the evening when the kids are in bed (documentaries or chess tutorials, or programming content, or something longer/more in depth where I can dedicate my full attention).

I don't find it really unhealthy, works for me.
