It’s just YouTube shills. Content creators who want to make money on the platform, and content viewers who don’t want to have to check multiple places for the things they watch.

Yawn. This was not my point, or even what I was trying to to say.
But I wonder how much you’ll defend YouTube and Google in 2 years.
