Because Good UX cost development time that has to be paid by someone. Nothing can compete with the lock-in and network effect these megacorps have. We have four choices to deal with that: * Close your eyes, cry about bad UX and continue to be treated like literal cattle by them. * Push for legislation that forces these services to be paid only thus making competition on the grounds of how they treat their users possible again * Collectively decide to use and finance free, federated, semi-selfhosted open alternatives (see crying about bad UX on that front) * Stop using them at all And even youtube premium is just paying to be a cattle. Youtube has enormous lock-in power already and I can't even count the amount of fuckups, anti-consumer features and violations of their users and "partners" they have commited. I am done regarding the petty complaints of the cattle users that don't want to understand, can't be bothered to consider the effects they have.
