Yes I'm tempted to too. What bothers me is that Youtube is literally the same company that runs the monopoly spyware OS in half the world's pockets. That is just so unrelated to its mission, so screwed up. If Youtube were a separate media company competing on a level playing field with a bunch of media-company peers, i.e. if it were Netflix, things would be so much healthier and I would be much more inclined to give it money.

The case for forcing Google to divest itself of Youtube is overwhelming.
