Look, we get it: you don’t like Google and that’s a fair position but you’re still shafting the people who make the video you like. If you don’t like YouTube, don’t use it: every time you watch a video there, the person who created it gets the message that they have to be on YouTube because nobody watches their stuff anywhere else.

The end of this cycle is DRM and ads becoming part of the content. YouTube can do that because your refusal to stop using their service only cements their market share.
