It starts at 2:55, when I linked it, but it's a long argument. You can forward into 3:20 for the first short conclusion, 4:57 for his rebuttal of a common counterargument, and you can forward into 5:40 for his own experience with freeloaders. You can fast forward to 12:40, to 13:15, to 13:46, and to 14:16 as well, but he's pretty based throughout the whole video and the point remains consistent throughout.
Thanks for the timestamps. I think just starting at 13:53 would be more than enough to make your point of "Google is entirely within it’s right to target people".
Having said that, generally speaking I would also strongly suggest people listening to the next point directly after that at 14:25 as well, and especially what he says starting at 15:43.
Yeah, but the point beginning on 14:25 is really for the business to determine, not something to demand or not demand from a consumer side. YT has had over a decade to determine what works for it and to see what's working for its competitors, and it may really be a last hail mary to save their business model with the collapse of easy investor money from silicon valley banks and stricter data privacy laws. As to 15:43, that's what I do already, I just pay for YT Premium even with uBlock Origin installed and data collection disabled as much as I can.
