If YouTube’s servers choose to serve me data, I am free to do whatever I want with that data. That does not equate to stealing in any way.

If Google doesn’t like that, they are free to block me.

I often use patreon, make donations, buy products/merch, etc, to support YouTube creators. Everything I’ve read indicates that this makes them MORE money than me paying for a YouTube subscription would, and I feel better about not financially supporting a monopolistic company.
