When will companies finally understand that some people won‘t watch ads no matter what tricks they employ. I‘d rather watch no video at all than a single ad. If that is their goal, fine.
We’re getting closer to the prophetic 4chan post
Is there an image that has better quality? It’s illegible.

glug glug glug?
They have really gone all out on the whole enshittification process during the past couple of years, haven’t they?
Seems like it’s profit squeezin season on every major platform.
I’m surprised it took them this long
I really think that Brave will circumvent this. Btw, YouTube will sue Invidious if they don’t stop offering the service in the following weeks. So I think YouTube is onto something here.
Then I’m going to begin not fucking watching YouTube.
There is a federated version of YouTube…
But storing video is a massive challenge, way harder than dealing with a Lemmy or Mastodon instance.
even google is having difficulty storing video.

I feel like extensions are pretty savvy for fixing this. If not, I will waste less time on YouTube. Hell, why not another big site getting over my limit for hoops that are worth jumping through vs value I get.
Yup, a lot of my time got wasted on YouTube… I watched “educational” and “interesting” videos but I have to say that many of the creators got caught into enshittification process too… I would do well with 95% reduction in watch time. However, if they start a real war against adblockers… 100% reduction will it be.
YouTube is the only Google service I use on a regular basis. Happy to leave them behind if they continue with this type of behavior.
It would be less convenient, but it is what it is and if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s ads.
Hopefully we get a decent alternative soon
PeerTube exists but it is not popular. It has a lot of potential though
It’s about to have more potential for growth.
We did the Twitter to Mastodon migration. Now we are doing the Reddit to Lemmy/kbin migration. When are we doing the YouTube to Peertube migration?
That’s impossible or at least very difficult, right now. Video content is very expensive. LBRY is the only feasible option.
I pay for a youtube premium family plan. Best money I spend monthly. I want to support the youtube creators that I watch, I don’t have to see ads (I block them anyway), and I get a music service included.
revanue from yt premium views is like 1000x from ad views. that’s probably only going to get larger.
if you dont believe in paying for your media then you give power to the advertisers.
