    YouTube slowly trying to push me off their platform.

    I will quit YouTube before watching ads.

      quick, question. Would you be willing to pay for a “premium” video hosting website? I’m not doing s study I’m just curious. Caz I think paying isn’t the problem it’s yt, We know very well that it can survive with moderate ads, but what about a payed platform that has no ads and doesn’t sell your data?

        Fuck no. They ain’t paid me for using my data for their myriad skullduggerous bullshit behind the scenes. When I start getting paid per-document for everything of mine they use to train their LLMs and shit, that’s the day I consider paying for YT Premium-- and even then I probably won’t; cause the shit STILL costs too much per month.

        Shoutout to nebula. Depending on how much content you consume it might not be enough for you, but it’s cool to have an independent platform doing stuff.
