Not paying youtube a cent until they remove all the transphobes and quit blasting people with their shit ass bigoted content. I'll pirate and ad block just to spite them every step of the way. Make your bed with fascists, lay in it.
Remember the time when we used to search for and share funny ads? They could've done that, but no, they chose to make shitty ads that nobody wants to see.
Between reddit and YT forcing us out, we might have a chance to solving world hunger, less people doom consuming dumb content and actually doing stuff
I'm happy paying a Nebula subscription, (another video site started by a group of youtubers, mostly engineering/tech/documentary types) because I know that the creators are getting all my money after reasonable platform costs.
I won't consider paying for YT Premium (or Spotify) until they become a lot more generous to creators, and stop their insane copyright strike algorithm and banned-words audio scanner from demonetising and hiding random videos (Jake Broe, Joe Blogs, Denys Davydov, Ryan McBeth etc are always having to edit and reupload to cut some harmless snippet) and whole channels (Metatron) all the time.
If they break Piped and Invidious, I guess I'll have to only watch Nebula content.
Dumb question, but will this also be affecting those on firefox or is this a chromium issue?
I like newpipe on Android. Freetube looks similar. Can I import my newpipe data to freetube and vice versa?
If I didn't get two back to back 30min videos from a politician running for election in the middle of a kids video I might have hesitated on the ad blocker, slightly. If you know who Clive Palmer is, it gives it more context.
I pay for premium because I despise ads. I do whatever I can to remove them from my life. They are really playing with fire. Change is in the air rn anyway.
How I want a YT competitor, but I really don't see how anyone can compete with their storage and bandwidth.
google, loke reddit, still makes a shitton of money with adblockers on. everybody is a fucking vulture these days.
mpv is not a crime!
