This may come as a shock to you, but YouTube is a privately owned business, not a public utility.I understand this, but the problem is they're dictating what I do, what I do affects no other person on the platform, at most it takes a few pennies away from a billion dollar company. If I was doing something such as uploading a certain kind of content to the platform and they took it down, I would completely understand. However, what I am doing is none of YouTube's business. Also, "You don’t get to dictate the rules on someone else’s playground." I'm not dictating any rules, I'm criticizing them.

What you do on YouTube absolutely IS YouTube’s business. It doesn’t matter if you’re creating content or just watching videos.
There are millions and millions of videos on that platform that you get to watch for free. So how, by insisting that you sit through a few 5-6 second ads, are they dictating what you do? Is there some obscure law that’s forcing you to be on YouTube?
Fuxxake.
