Yeah YouTube is not possible to avoid.
I really hope that one day we’ll have another platform where you can just pay 2$ per month to every channel you subscribe to and all the great YouTubers open an alternative channel on that platform.
For now PeerTube and Odysee look like the best alternatives..
Peertube is actually a really good alternative to YouTube and it means the return of the decentralized web! (Odysee is a good alternative too, but I don't know if their maintainers are okay) But the problem is that the creators would lost money if they do this for free, and people wouldn't want to pay if they can have data mining videos for "free"
Well judging from what you see on Lemmy a lot of people would be willing to pay. What’s missing on Peertube is the ability for a creator to lock his videos behind a paywall in a « you wanna watch? Pay me » way.
Nick from the Linux Experiment was explaining that he was making something like 0.02 Euros per view on Youtube and that people supporting him directly were bringing so much more without being at the mercy of an algorithm.
Supporting him for 1 Euro a month is fine with the amount of what I’m watching from him on Peertube, paying 5 dollars a month to watch everything Linus Tech Tips produces on Floatplane is a bit too much for me..
Yeah maybe a plan of 1 dollar for any channel
