>Then don't use the service? Use one of the 'better' free alternatives

you can use alternatives but those do not have the actual content that is the reason anybody watches youtube (its in the name).

im also talking about free alternatives to premium being better for example offline videos still having DRM unlike every free yt downloader ever. the only way they have made premium better is by actively making the experience worse for everybody else is by pay walling the old default bitrate.

>Let's see how long they remain free once (if) they actually see a meaningful amount of traffic

there continues effort towards making the platform worse with every decision does not have anything to do with funding
