I understand your reasoning, and you’re not wrong.
However, the amount that they charge you FAR outweighs the cost of compute, bandwidth and storage. The few tens of GB of bandwidth that you use and the storage costs of the video may cost them $1/user/month or less.
Their costs have been easily covered by ad revenue for decades. This subscription service is only because they’ve purchased all meaningful competitors and can now turn the screws and juice their customers for more money because they have no other options.

I don’t care what YouTube’s costs are, I don’t want to pay. I’ll leave that to people like you.

I care about making google lose money. They deserve it. I will only make accounts on big tech just to abuse them.
All of big tech deserves to be bankrupt, convince me otherwise.
They only care about money. No ethics, no rights, no environment, just money. And money **IS NOT more important than ethics, rights, etc.

Guns n Jesus mentality. Someone’s got to shoulder the burden and it ain’t gonna be the cool guys.
