Very well put. I have tried to argue the same point here and on reddit in past. The only real argument against I get is from the privacy perspective. That people tend to use alternative youtube clients or other such hacks to be able to consume ad free content anonymously and with the current state of google are not very keen on providing it with more information about them. Personally I am trying to degooglify my life including working my own open source alternatives for some services I don't find much other good alternatives for- google keep and google books. But my youtube usage pattern being the data shared with google is quite low on the priority list for me but reasonable minds can differ. On the other hand, if enough do start to pay for youtube premium then we would be able to much more fruitfully present our demands including for privacy when we are actual customers and not the product as in the current dynamics.
