I forgot... where can I get my free data center with petabytes of storage & 300TB/s fiber interconnects?

Well... if your idea of "free" content is something you don't pay for then yes, but if your idea of free content is something that was intended to be distributed for "free" then no.

My dude... There are 100s of legitimate things about Google to complain about, but you pick the weakest argument and then say I'm white knighting them. YouTube doesn't owe you cause they made profit... you've been able to still bypass their ads for this long, and so now users are complaining that they were able to circumvent something easier in the past?

Lol NZBGet is not typically used for getting free content.

I know right... Why should content creators be able to make money from content. Am I right?

So tell the content creators you like that you don't like YouTube. While YouTube Premium is the same price as like two coffees a month... Maybe your content creator will help you if you can't afford it.

You could pay for YouTube Premium

Not really. YouTube provides a lot of tools to make most of their services and content pretty accessible from third party clients. If Google wanted to prevent ad blockers and force you to watch ads, trust me they could. At this point I think some users that only know how to install third party software are going to start claiming they won and ruin a good thing for everyone. You don't want ads? Then don't bite the hand that feeds you.
