It's so funny to me that they think that forcing power users to cave in is going to bring in more money. Heck I will stop paying for Google Workspace and move my shit to Apple rather than pay for YouTube premium or watch YouTube ads.
I don't think it's about money anymore. These last few years we've seen governments, corporations, lobby groups, and the rich really starting to clamp down on authoritarian measures primarily centering around eliminating digital freedoms.
I think we might be past the stage of capitalism where the evil was merely incidental to the pursuit of profit.
