YouTube already has ToS on their API and has paid tiers. But a lot (most?) of the third-party apps and tools bypass the API and directly scrape the site.
Because YouTube is embedded a lot
Go to any major publication, and I mean absolutely any one, and there is a solid chance there is at least a single YT embed.
If they try to Reddit their API they're going to lose much, much more than just giving it away
X(Twitter) did it, that's why i am little concerned.
ELI5 why google won't pull reddit on youtube API?
