YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Eventually, the users will rebel and just stop watching, and then the video creators will follow, because if nobody's watching, then there will be no reason to create on YouTube.
You know this won’t happen, but I like your optimism
If you can't have some sort of optimism, you might as well just go ahead and commit suicide because life's not worth living.
this went from 0-60 real quick
Yeah, I didn't mean to come off quite that grim, but reading it again. I definitely see where it was a hell of a lot more morbid than I meant it to be.
I’m not going to commit suicide because of YouTube premium
That's never going to happen unless there's another platform they'll all migrate to and Rumble ain't it.
I would personally prefer to see peer tube because it's open source.
Why isn't Rumble an option? Genuinely curious. Is it because it's not open source? or federated or something?
For most people who refuse to use it, it's probably because they view it as more a haven for extremism and hate speech, as it seems to have made its niche by allowing those who were banned elsewhere (not always a bad thing...depends on offense).
