    If they fully manage to block applications from viewing YouTube, then I will just stop viewing YouTube entirely. And I will figure out channels to watch on Odyssey and peertube. That will also be my last Google service since that is the only one I use frequently since I deleted my Google account two years ago.

      Making you leave is their point since you cost them money.

        True, but if enough people leave, then creators will start leaving as well, and that is something they do not want.

          Sounds great in theory, but won’t happen. The internet is too consolidated now for the majority of people to give a shit, there’s people buying YouTube Premium because of all this. Look at reddit, barely a dent in it after all the fiascos, twitter is holding on too. People don’t care.
