Part of the problem is there are effectively no alternatives to YouTube. The other options are either just front-ends or completely lack enough creators to have the enormous wealth of videos and information.
No alternatives is no excuse to support this shit from them. Period.
Don’t like it, leave. Don’t leave? Learn to like it. Because they’re not changing things.
I'm not saying its an excuse or that we should continue to support Googles greed. But, it's hard to convince people to change en-masse if there isn't a viable alternative to go to.
