Use a YouTube frontend. Don't give them any ad revenue. Make it cost them money to service you.

But maybe directly support the creators you watch. They shouldn't also suffer because of Google

Nah.

So sick of "creators" and "content".

People used to make videos for fun. Choosing to be on YouTube for money is so stupid. They have no contract.

The only way to get them to move on is not supporting them, on YouTube.

I say this as a Nebula subscriber and direct payment to a few entertainers I like. But they are not on youtube.

That's fair. I've been meaning to set up patreon donations to the handful of creators I still watch. Thanks for reminding me.
