They’re welcome not to make videos. But if they make them and lay them out there for free alongside some garbage I have the right to ignore, don’t blame me if I do look at them and ignore the garbage, and since there’s so much of it I eventually get my machine to ignore them, not unlike wearing gloves when dealing with a messy task as to save you the time of scrubbing your hands from dirt/oil/etc.

Ignoring the "garbage" is absolutely valid, but hiding it so that you never see it is what makes it piracy.

You can say it's immoral or violates terms of service but as others have pointed out this isn't piracy, which has a very specific definition
