Color me too unsympathetic, Frankly I've been stream ripping them with yt-dlp for quite a while now. I'm motivated to do more of that now.
it's one thing if googgle were demanding I watch their ads to get the free video in exchange, but it is not an honest broker, because it doesn't vet the people it allows to advertise with it thoroughly enough to prevent scams and everything else from slipping through.
And frankly i'm taking a moral stand as well by blocking their adsr ads, I refuse to allow Google to profit off of scammers in my or my families name.
