  it just freeloads

  I watch a number of creators that YT has demonetized so I’m not worried about it.

  YT can clearly see what people want in these apps. They simply need to provide the exact same functionality and set a price. They won’t though because they want control and data as well.

    Sure, that’s fair critique. Them not implementing the features people turn to third party apps for. Absolutely.

    What I can’t make sense of are the people who want control, privacy, content, and not to pay a dime. YouTube could do this better, sure, but let that be the criticism not the mere fact they have the audacity to kick off people who provide nothing and take everything.

      To be clear I wouldn’t give them my money even if they did offer all the same features.

        So you’re just outing yourself as being among the freeloaders they’re trying to kick off.

        Okay then?
