> You won't get a direct answer for this. Only endless justifications
So... you will get answers?
That you disagree with the reasons give does not mean that they're not giving you reasons. It just means you disagree with the reasons that they gave :)
"Just use an ad-blocker" isn't an answer for why you can just not use Youtube. Neither is "They track personal information" or "I control my browsing experience". "Youtube Premium includes services I don't want." also doesn't answer the question.
If you're specifically looking for an answer as to why I haven't DNS blocked Youtube from my network even though I have DNS blocked other Google services, I wrote up a longer comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37901189
I agree that explanations for why not to pay for Youtube are not the same as explanations as to why people can't avoid Youtube entirely. But I don't think my explanation of Google's monopoly status is rare or uncommon and I'm surprised you've never run into someone saying it.
