YouTube's cat-and-mouse game against third-party apps only ensures more people will dislike the company

    Eventually, the users will rebel and just stop watching, and then the video creators will follow, because if nobody’s watching, then there will be no reason to create on YouTube.

      That’s never going to happen unless there’s another platform they’ll all migrate to and Rumble ain’t it.

        I would personally prefer to see peer tube because it’s open source.

      You know this won’t happen, but I like your optimism

        If you can’t have some sort of optimism, you might as well just go ahead and commit suicide because life’s not worth living.

            Yeah, I didn’t mean to come off quite that grim, but reading it again. I definitely see where it was a hell of a lot more morbid than I meant it to be.
