I think this is a bit backward in that the reason they're having to force it and facing resistance in the first place is that they've burned a ton of goodwill over the years through increasing ads, refusing to fix their DMCA process and letting their AI run rampant banning and demonetizing people at random with almost no way of actually talking to a human.
It's also kind of interesting to see people acting like it's entitled for people to be mad that the service that drove most other early competitors out by showing unsustainably low ads is now bait and switching by showing increasingly more ads. There's a reason there are more smaller competitors starting to pop up as YouTube has burned through leftover goodwill.
