The day they “win” is the day YouTube is dead to me
Same, will just read books instead (if nothing on alternative platforms)
God I wouldn’t mind if the ads weren’t so fucking cancer. Like I have streaming with ads and dumb Liberty Bibberty or whatever is fine.
But YouTube, it constantly runs gambling scams and then rolls into a 90 minute “ad” podcast about some bull shit
I just noticed they removed the button to report ads as inappropriate.
because ads are never inappropriate!

Patreon videoBitch your content creators to also provide content on other platforms.
From what I understand (very limited knowledge here, might be BS) YouTube actually pays creators more than pretty much any other platform.
I bought a lifetime to Nebula for $300. Enjoying zero commercials on the content
The content creators won’t make the effort unless they have some way to monetize their views though.
I’m my opinion the best days of YouTube were before monetization was a thing. There were plenty of creators back then, and it was a lot less corporate than it is now.
