You won't get a direct answer for this. Only endless justifications as for why it's seemingly impossible to just not use Youtube.

- Goronmon 3y agoSo... you will get answers? No? I haven't seen any answers yet. "Just use an ad-blocker" isn't an answer for why you can just not use Youtube. Neither is "They track personal information" or "I control my browsing experience". "Youtube Premium includes services I don't want." also doesn't answer the question.
- danShumway 3y agoIf you're specifically looking for an answer as to why I haven't DNS blocked Youtube from my network even though I have DNS blocked other Google services, I wrote up a longer comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37901189 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37901189 I agree that explanations for why not to pay for Youtube are not the same as explanations as to why people can't avoid Youtube entirely. But I don't think my explanation of Google's monopoly status is rare or uncommon and I'm surprised you've never run into someone saying it.
