If Google is a monopoly (it’s not), it’s only a monopoly because they’ve cornered the market through previously good service. Now they’re using this power to inflict larger and larger amounts of time theft, brainwashing, etc. It is actually good to block this trash and “evil” to profit from it.
“Time theft” is very questionable and more a topic for society as a whole but…
Okay? Then don’t watch youtube. Rather than allow them to engage in “time theft” but calling yourself smart because you don’t watch ads.
Also: As has been pointed out repeatedly in this thread, the scale of Youtube (and Twitch) is massive and truly hard to comprehend. The only companies that even have a snowball’s chance of running that are Google, Amazon, and MS because they ALSO have giant “cloud” services. And… it is pretty clear none of them really know how to run a site like that (hence why MS just gave up entirely).

The US DOJ doesn’t agree with you, they’re in the midst of suing them for antitrust.
