In france we do, it's like a little bit more luxurious youghurt. Smoother. You can eat two no problemo, a normal cheap youghurt will be too acidic in the end. Maybe it's a bit of cream? It has more fat IIRC.
Greek yoghurt used to be good when it started to be 'a thing'. Now it's just white paste with too much added starch. I've also seen there's a light version now, which completely defies the original purpose of greek yoghurt being a yoghurt made of milk with the full cream content. I've returned to normal yoghurt, since the 'greek' in the name seems to be used to fuck up what used to be a nice natural product.
No, not really. I suspect the term 'greek yoghurt' is not protected and the product is going the way of gradual enshittification as other food products have in recent years, at least as much as EU legislation permits. And often us poors in the south will get to experience this a few years earlier. But I don't know for sure. Maybe my taste buds are getting pickier with age?

Here in Greece we don't have Greek yoghurt, what is this??

In the US 'greek yogert' is usually thicker with a higher protein content than regular 'yogert'.

The first eight cups of yogurt
Always get sick of it or stop caring too fast

Not America, southern Europe. I've noticed a subtle change in quality throughout the years.
