You are completely misunderstanding what i'm saying! What i want to say is that if a service requires you to pay to use it, then you have to pay if you want to use it; if a service is free but requires you to see commercials to be used then you have to see them if you want to use it. If a software requires you to pay a one shot payment then you have to pay it once, if another requires you to pay a subscription then you have to pay a recurrent subscription.

I'm just saying that you have to accept the rules or terms of service if you want to use a non-vital private-company owned service otherwise you can simply stop using that service.

You are not compelled to watch YT even if it has a predominant position. And you still have the right to complain (like i do too) about the horrible privacy issues with today's advertisment but that is a completely different topic
