Fuck YouTube
215 0 ReplyI agree. YouTube can be very useful, but we really ought to be moving to other platforms at this point. Fuck YouTube.
69 0 ReplyI’ve been using YouTube far more than any of my paid services for years. However I’m ready for a switch. If the YouTubers who I follow switched platforms I’d go with them in a second.
27 0 ReplyProblem is hosting all the video. You either have one host or many (P2P). Both have issues.

there are a few but they're all filled with right wing nutters and i doubt their ability to scale effectively
24 0 ReplyNebula isn't full of right wing nutters as far as I know
19 0 ReplyHowever, I am broke
9 0 ReplyNebula is a gated community, and they don't let enough people in. It is far from the definition of "You" Tube.
7 0 ReplyOn the other hand when you pay for a service you're the customer, not the product. That can be an advantage.

It's amusing to see how nobody is able to genuinely answer this question.

The reason while they have all the content, is precisely because they can generate revenue for channels. I much prefer payment through subcription and ad views to annoying in video sponsors and product placements
7 0 ReplyBut on YouTube you get both. If I could pay and not get in video sponsorship along with no ads, then I might consider it. But I will not pay to be advertised at.
10 0 ReplySponsorblock is an extention which can help. It doesn't detract from the money the creator makes and you don't see ads for shit you dont want or can't afford. If you don't have premium and block ads though, you're definitely hurting the creator and platform as a whole.
6 0 ReplyMost creators that have in-video sponsors also have Patreons with sponsor-free feeds.
