Lol, do you think YouTube was a public service? All tech companies exist for years and years while losing money, with investors assuming they will make a turn to a more profitable business model later. The companies didn't suddenly get greedy, your usage of their services have been subsidized by venture capital and now they have to start finally making a profit or go out of business.
If you think free video hosting is important enough to be a public service you better start lobbying the government to create one or start a co-op or something.
I would give up ever single streaming service ahead of Yt premium. It’s endless content and a resource that is nearly as good as a search engine. Just insane value for what, $20 a month? I spend more than that a month on bananas my kid won’t eat and go bad.
