So you're openly hating on people for being normal, without offering a single alternative of a video platform that's not all of those things that you labeled as evil.

There are alternatives, they've been posted many times over in this thread and similar ones.

The alternative to shopping isn't shoplifting. The usual things that people list are client side apps that circumvent intended operation of the platform, reaping as many benefits without paying the cost. But hosting isn't free. Running a business isn't free. And hating the people who literally subsidize your unauthorized use of the platform is hypocrisy.
