Absolutely, you are free to make every kind of contract if you like. Personally, I am not very invested in youTube, I don't watch any streamers or youTubers, it's just a video hosting platform for me. I am boycotting Google wherever I can, it is a privacy desaster and dystopia-like enterprise. NewPipe has all the 'features' as well, if it breaks I just let YouTube go..

I could live without youtube for sure, I have more of a Reddit problem than a YouTube problem... but it seems they fixed that for me.
