      And where will users go? There are no alternatives. Other platforms don’t have as much content, require you to pay, or both.

        Pornhub, or touching grass. Either order really.

        I’d been paying for premium YouTube for a few years, the family plan had a massive spike in price and I’d had enough from there. Been using Grayjay for the past few months only watching a couple of channels, but if this goes live it will kill the platform for me.

        The bundled YouTube music sub really doesn’t sell it for me either, sure it’s got some more niche music compared to other platforms but it’s not a drop-in replacement (especially for the better half).

        All and all I’m probably one of the few that will tap out of the platform, will be interesting to see the fallout.
