> It has become painful to use.

I've found the opposite, despite advertisements. For one thing, Youtube provides very good auto-generated captions and makes it easy to watch a sped-up version of the video. This saves way more time than would be taken up by looking at ads.

Of course people should still host their own videos but I see this as more like a backup, in case YouTube goes rouge somehow.

I think the proper word is "rogue" - but your points are spot on.

But it's (unintentionally?) clever, because the product they keep pushing on you is called YouTube Red, i.e. YouTube Rouge.

(How they came up with this name, given the existence of porn site Red Tube, I'll never know.)
