I'd say that people are exhausted by having to do their own jobs and simultaneously help their kids stay focussed and concentrated on their learning, while the needed tools (provided for 'free' by Google) include a totally unnecessary and unrelated requirement to enable distractions, trivial entertainment and advertising.

I've got YouTube plus at least, it helps somewhat to filter out some rather toxic advertising.

Whoever started pushing WorkSafe ads into this platform, I do not wish well for. It's the stuff of true nightmares, the sum of their worst fears, for children to see.

Edit: Eg this one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ffC9FfMYpW4

Not sure it's about cost. I think they are angry because their children can't access their online learning platform.
Or in my case because of the amount of crap I must allow my son to get access to, in order to receive his school assignments.
