I don't know. I just had a discussion where someone told me it'd unrealistic to give up YouTube for the alternatives and yadda yadda yadda. It bears reminding that not everyone is as privacy-minded and make up nowhere near a majority. Not caring what happens because you aren't using chromium is dangerous. It's still about you and it's still going to affect you.
It's not that I don't care. I intend to do whatever I can to help prevent it. But at the end of the day, if people keep supporting platforms like YouTube, then I see the enshittification of the internet as inevitable. We're literally welcoming it by doing so.
