    Also, what’s stopping Google from killing alt front-ends altogether by either completely login-walling YT, including for G-rated and PG-rated content and not just the age-gated stuff, implementing DRM platform-wide on YT and not just on paid commercial content ala movies or TV produced by one of the media conglomerates like they already implement DRM on, or both, at some point in the future?

    Alt front-ends still work for now, but Google could kill them outright at any time, and I just mentioned two ways they could do that: hard login-walling or platform-wide DRM, or both.
