    Then don’t be shocked when they start putting up walls. It’s shocking to me how many people take this as some kind of right and act indignant and make up every excuse under the sun to justify why YouTube should cater to pirates 🤣

      Oh, go ahead and let them place YouTube behind the paywall. We need some new players in this area.

        I never said you should care 🤷‍♂️

        I said you shouldn’t be shocked when freeloaders continue to be locked down.
