that's their problem to deal with. why is everyone here going all 'think of the poor corporations'

[apetresc]

Well, when they "deal with it", we'll all be complaining even harder. The fact that they've gone relatively light on obfuscation and security against things like yt-dlp for such a long time is basically tacit approval at this point. I wouldn't want to bite that hand.

By the same logic, fare evasion is "metro company's problem to deal with".

It technically is, but if someone makes a programmer's salary and still jumps over turnstiles, I consider it a big red flag over their personality.

I think you're reading it as "as a user, you must not do this because...", when the GP meant it as "as Google, the reason I'm doing this is because..."
