If they make it shitty enough I just wont use it.

That will only be an option if content creators don’t use it either. And they will look where their audience goes, which will mostly be nowhere.

I mean, there is always the option of putting down YouTube and going outside, or picking up a hobby or something.

Gross, I know, having to live in the stone ages, but there's always another option.

In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.
