They have really gone all out on the whole enshittification process during the past couple of years, haven’t they?
I’m surprised it took them this long

As fill-in ads are a vector for computer viruses and other malware I for one will NOT be disabling my ad blocker unless YouTube is willing to provide a lifetime subscription to something like Life Lock and make me whole for anything lost to whatever malware arrives as a part of an ad.
Where else can I watch sci-show, Linus-tech-tips, and all the other channels I subscribe to?
We’re getting closer to the prophetic 4chan post
I pay for a youtube premium family plan. Best money I spend monthly. I want to support the youtube creators that I watch, I don’t have to see ads (I block them anyway), and I get a music service included.
revanue from yt premium views is like 1000x from ad views. that’s probably only going to get larger.
if you dont believe in paying for your media then you give power to the advertisers.
Then I’m going to begin not fucking watching YouTube.
There is a federated version of YouTube…
But storing video is a massive challenge, way harder than dealing with a Lemmy or Mastodon instance.
even google is having difficulty storing video.
We did the Twitter to Mastodon migration. Now we are doing the Reddit to Lemmy/kbin migration. When are we doing the YouTube to Peertube migration?
That’s impossible or at least very difficult, right now. Video content is very expensive. LBRY is the only feasible option.
