They're removing functionality that you already heave built into your browser in order to force you to pay to get that functionality back.
That's not monetization that's exploitation.
Would you feel the same if your phone suddenly updated so that your camera records in half quality unless you start paying monthly? It's their product, they can monetize it how they like.
It's monetisation. If they put a paywall on the video, your browser has the functionality to play the video but you're forced to pay to use that functionality.
Also wrt phone, it's different because I paid for the phone. But also I'd just use a different camera app?

What a waste of resources. Imagine employing some of the most brilliant engineers on the planet and allocating man-hours towards artificially worsening the experience for your userbase in order to blackmail them into paying you, and giving them back what they had in the first place.
At least this is a loosing game for Google, since this is client side behaviour.
While I'm not pro YouTube, I think it's fine for companies to decide how to monetise their product, including things which were originally free. If you don't like free services, stop using them
It's not strange at all. We grow what we eat, humans didn't start by eating insects. Plus growing plants specifically to feed livestock is an extremely recent development.
Plus ants can't provide all the nutrients we need.
Humans eat insects, current and past
I feel like any deviation from the syntax LLMs are trained on is not productive.
Sure you can represent the same code in fewer tokens but I doubt it'll get those tokens correct as often.

I never want to unknowingly use an app that's driven this way.
However, I'm happy it's happening because you don't need an LLM to use the protocol.
