YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.

I didn’t say it wasn’t the biggest platform but, everyone I know on YouTube are streaming on Rumble, Odysee, Dlive, Trovo or Kick. Some of them are still on YouTube, but I don’t watch them there anymore.
