I’m pretty much “no” on paying for a product that encourages clickbait and misinformation. This isn’t a uniform “no Google” thing, I use GCP, but paying for YouTube just seems icky.
If it can’t survive as a business (or become so ad-heavy that it’s a UX nightmare), hey maybe there’ll be new opportunities for others. Vimeo, maybe Twitter, with Musk’s new zeal for making orgs pay for Twitter?
UX nightmares always get competition. Altavista, Experts Exchange, Skype/WebEx… all faced nimbler competitors. I don’t see YouTube being an exception.
