just because others break the law it is not okay to break the law. Sure, I do use adBlocker and download music from yt for myself, but I am not fine with breaking the law.

ahem… legal issues? Copyright? You can’t just do that. Also, creators would earn less loney from ads and therefore possibly stop making the videos.

well idk. They don’t have the content monopoly yt has and isn’t it paid? Also, PeerTube is the Fediverse alternative. So basically what Lemmy is to Reddit, PeerTube is to YouTube. And if you are ok with watching YouTube but just don’t want the surveillance, you should use NewPipe or PipePipe.
