Boiling the frog for 3 years now. And then we get these insulting blog posts of clueless Developer Relations people claiming how amazing it is that they now support 5000 rules, a number surely meant to impress equally clueless people.

I’ve developed a pavlovian response to Google announcements in which I’ll scramble to figure out what impending hostility google is forcing on me.
I must admit, I’m the weird one; I’ll unthinkingly sponsor OSS for $25/month but buck like a wild horse at the prospect of being forced to pay half that for a crumby youtube subscription.

That’s not weird. You’re willing to pay a premium for agency and control over your experience. Very rational.

Google has been announcing this and then delaying it for years. Each time there is less push back. It is intentional outrage fatigue.
Rather than actually caring or listening to the push back they're just repeatedly doing what people don't want until there's a small enough response to push through. Very similar to how SOPA-etc and the like are passed.
