The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

This is true, I still use youtube and I don't see it changing soon since there are no viable alternatives.

    Closest I'd say would be a service like Odysee. Can't really say whether their practices are better than yt or not, but I can at least confirm I've found a few channels I don't wanna sub to on yt also have accounts on Odysee. As to whether or not they made those accounts/channels is a different story.

    Personally, I can’t imagine what is on YouTub that’s worth watching. I don’t know, I haven’t used it in ages.

    I can't speak for your particular interests, but in my experience there is something for pretty much every niche. That's what keeps YouTube in their dominant position as well.
