Well that's a nice way to say that its allowed for youtube and very few other sites... possibly none.

These are the kind of tricks a shady company would do. So disappointed what Google is doing to the web the last few years.

I'm not so sure of that. My top sites by media engagement are: Spotify Twitch clips Youtube Twitch Eurosport Netflix The Independent Discord

It isn't obvious to me from this that Google are privileging their own sites above others here

Not "very few other sites", it's around 700 sites: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24819473

For what it's worth, Netflix has a higher score on my machine than YouTube.
