I’ve developed a pavlovian response to Google announcements in which I’ll scramble to figure out what impending hostility google is forcing on me.

I must admit, I’m the weird one; I’ll unthinkingly sponsor OSS for $25/month but buck like a wild horse at the prospect of being forced to pay half that for a crumby youtube subscription.

That’s not weird. You’re willing to pay a premium for agency and control over your experience. Very rational.
