Well, now we can feel at home, it's just like reddit!
You would be surprised how many people will just uninstall the ad blocker the third time YouTube isn't working for 24 hours.
Every time YouTube or twitch make a change, a certain percentage of users give up, which means more revenue.

The "unless" part is important...
There is a ton of quality content, I watch 3 hours a day and can't make a dent on my "watch later" queue.
News, popular science, hobbies, humor, tech...
I love KDE's "extract here, autodetect folder" feature for compressed files
Have you seen him testify? In front of a judge it's "I can't recall" time.
I moved to YouTube premium a few years ago, family subscription, to share with up to 5 people. YouTube is my main source of entertainment and the 15 bucks total (or whatever the conversion rate is) is less than 90 minutes of a movie in a cinema, nit even including transportation and snacks. I get my news, tech news/reviews, tutorials, documentaries, inspiration and laughs on there. I watch it while getting ready in the morning, on my lunch break and for a longer while in the evening. I share it with 2 other people so it works out to around 5 bucks a month. And the creators I like get a big portion of that.
Sure, around 60 bucks a year might sound a lot, but it's the only service I pay for (except the 2 bucks a month Disney plus trial until December). As a small bonus YouTube music transformed my Google home devices into a multi-room audio Sonos alternative for under 1/3 of the price.
I still use NewPipe on my phone for downloads for offline use and yt-dlp for content I want to hoard.
Additionally, existing users are mostly in urban centers with very efficient infrastructure, starlink gives high bandwidth internet everywhere.
I'd like to see the CO2e cost of giving a user in the middle of Idaho or Montana a 100Mbps connection.
