I was a bit unclear, but I meant that they get enough money not to care about us who use clients such as NewPipe so they don’t block us completely due to lack of income, never underestimate Google’s power.
Exactly that! Every day I thank the people who do their best to stay up to the changes YouTube makes to break NewPipe and other clients and hope YouTube doesn’t go further to use DRM or something worse… I still hope for a way to monetize PeerTube so other creators would switch, Odysee seems to be getting traction but I am not informed enough to know if it’s a better alternative to YouTube, I hope it is.

Fair point. Selfish as it may be, it’s in our advantage for these tools to be unpopular.
