Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

The fact you’re saying you’re still getting useful results on Google means you haven’t used Google for the past year to me.

Oh, thought this was an article with facts and figures, no someone’s doomsaying and fear mongering…

Many YouTube’s third party clients don’t use an API and having a public API with built in ads is a gold mine that many of YouTube’s embeds rely on for revenue. Doubt they’ll destroy that anytime soon.

Along with that, many of YouTube’s top creators are already looking for alternatives, floatplane, nebula etc… It just takes a mass exodus to kick start them. And you bet Google is aware of that.

No it’s not. It’s coming back as yet another subscription based garbage.
