    It’s still the highest value streaming service out there and worth even more than that. Atleast for me it is. I still wont pay for as long as adblocker works but when they inevitably prevent me from using it, I’ll subscribe. I have zero moral arguments for why I should be getting this all for free. YouTube essentially is the internet for me.

      No good reason to support a monopoly. Sure, I know we can’t help some monopolies (grocery stores, internet service, etc.), but this is an entertainment thing.

      There are unlimited ways to be entertained nowadays and YouTube is not a necessity. Let’s see how well YouTube gets by if we all stop watching for fun, and instead only watch when we have to, such as when we’re trying to learn how to fix a car the one time a year we need it.
