Then stop making stupid arguments, it only serves to make you look stupid

selling ads was just icing
You're talking about these as if they're separate things. Literally no company in existence harvests your data for any reason other than to serve better ads or to drive business decisions internally. Nobody gives a shit about your data otherwise. Ads are literally the only reason.
as if you were a tin-foil-hat wearing maniac
I mean... If the shoe fits, man.
Google DOES make money from ads. A metric tuckton of it. Why the fuck else would they need your data other than to serve better ads???
RustRover isn't ready for actual usage, I've tried it
Unfortunately RustRover is still garbage for actual usage. And I refuse to use an ORM when I can just write the SQL in a more common syntax that everyone understands across every language instead of whatever inefficient library-of-the-week there is. Raw SQL is fine and can be significantly more performant. Don't be scared.
Calling someone a bigot based entirely on the words they use instead of the intent behind them is a great way to be wrong 80% of the time
While I think this may play a part, YouTube was unprofitable for more than a decade and probably still is right now. It's not greedy to want to pay server costs
My company is heavily considering raising premium prices because ad revenue is now equal to the subscription cost, and we're still very unprofitable. That's not greedy, that's basic business
Please tell me what IDE you're using that's capable of highlighting SQL syntax that's embedded inside another language source file
Also please fucking stop with the "it's current year stop x." The year is not an argument.
That double indented from is hurting me
The creators are free to upload content anywhere they want without restrictions. It's not YouTube's fault that they don't.
