Yeah except y’know YouTube servers cost money and watching through Invidious doesn’t actually pay either YouTube or the creators. Like I don’t want to shill for a corp but on the other hand mass hosting video for free and letting anyone watch is a business model that can only work at YouTubers scale and nothing can replace YouTube because any service that tries will run out of money in a week. Seriously video hosting is literally the most expensive thing to do on the internet.

So is paying for car repair or a builder when a lot of times you can do it yourself and save money. In this case, when the whole familiy is involved and also taking into account that YT Premium also accounts for my work laptop and my phone I can easily understand why OP chooses to pay for YT Premium instead of more reasons to be the family helpdesk…

When you put it like that… That’s like saying stores are a scam because you could just take the products for free.
