Yes, Google allows people to access the servers they own. I don't have an issue with that (in an ownership sense) and there's really no way to not have that without collectivizing everything involved in it. That's true even of Nostr, seeding, etc. Someone is paying to store and serve data and they can control the terms of access for their own hardware. I'd prefer the latter, but hardly anyone is doing that right now. At least not at a scale that would replace YT in my life.
