Maybe at some point we can all stop watching and hence supporting YouTube, that'd be nice.
Users stop watching on Youtube to go watch on Tiktok. I can't see that as a win.
Perhaps the lesser of the two evils, considering Google's dominance. But yes, far from ideal.
Is it? Try to ask <18y.o. if they even ever open Youtube.
Google is not dominant in the video streaming context any more.
well google/YT is enshittifying themselves with AI and propaganda push, so it will be soon.
and it's not just google. basically every major social media platform is enshittifying.
i hope that lots of people will realize that the dead internet theory is actually becoming true due to AI bots and move away from the internet in general.
We need less internet, more regional human connections. It would be better if the novelty of the internet wears off and is just seen as yet another advertising machine that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Or if you use adblock and stream at 4k, google will lose money when you watch videos. Free content while fucking google over is a win win in my book.
It's a big waste of energy to stream in 4K, so if I were you I'd simply not watch the video.
Nah, I still enjoy the content, and it wouldn't make a grain of difference as far as global wasted energy goes.
If you really are concerned about wasted energy though, you shouldn't be on your computer/phone browsing lemmy.
