You don't have to watch YouTube.
The issue is that there is a LOT of content there that you can't really get anywhere else. These "just don't use it" responses aren't ever helpful. I think we can agree that this kind of enshitification is a problem. Dismissing it as a non-issue doesn't do anything to hold anyone to account.
