That is where I'm at..Google can piss up a rope. YouTube isn't worth it, even with the ability to "download" videos - once your subscription stops, those videos won't work.
Started my channel about 10yrs back.
Currently have a bunch of vids from the last Match to upload...
Can not see rewarding "youtube" (by giving them their "rake") for ..........playing more commercials than the Vanna White Show! (last time I watched? 22 minutes of commercials)....
They want $12, this month.. Oh, we got that. $20 next month....
I can not view my own channel...
They want me to "monetize" my channel....No interest on my part in so doing.
(my modem gizmo was busted for the last month, may as well be "locked out" of my channel now)
