why just yt? There are many more sites doing this

You have to start somewhere. If you take down something as big as YT the small cockroaches will be gone the next second.

Exactly the prominent "continue without accepting" started to be prominent on banners and not burried below 3 clicks /redirection ONLY AFTER google had to put it on theirs

It's a giant site that'll be easier to bring to courts, and the EU has made plenty of tech regulation specifically against FAANG+.

I don't think Youtube will lose this, but you'll have a lot more luck convincing a judge that Youtube is breaking the law than some blog spam news site.
