It's not a marriage. It is a string of relationships with different people, all of them with a history of abuse and manipulation and a unfounded belief of "this one will be different". No, thank you. I rather preempt the whole thing and stay away from all of them. Let me summarize: I do not accept the premise that I owe them anything for viewing the videos that are publicly available. I do not accept the premise that they are entitled to their business model. I do not accept the premise that they can dictate how I watch the video or how my browser (aka the user agent) must behave. If they do not want to serve content for customers that do not pay, they need to authenticate and paywall their site. Destroying the competition by price dumping and changing the rules after you are a de-facto monopoly is not only immoral, it is illegal.
