@eldersnake That sounds like a weak argument, to be honest. 🤔

As Louis says towards the end, we might just get *yet another* consent screen. And if you don’t consent, you don’t get to watch YouTube. 🤷

I mean, this is what YouTube looks like when you open it for the first time:

That’s already pretty close. All they have to do is remove the “Reject All” button, so there’s no way anymore to watch YouTube without accepting their TOS. 🤷

Since they’re already trying to kick out adblock users, I guess this is what we’ll end up with.

@movq yeah fair point. I wonder then what will happen with embedding and third party players like NewPipe?

@eldersnake That's a really good question. How will 3rd-party players or embeds work if they keep going this way?! 🤔
