wow just wow while i can't say i didn't see this one coming but it always amazes me where greed could lead someone
I think it's less enforceable than they think - every system someone sets up will eventually be circumvented.
It'll be a pain for a few months, or we'll see a federated alt pick up creators.
To be honest, YouTube would be the hardest thing to replace. And if they ever stream ads from the same URLs as content I don't see a blocker being overly successful.
I disagree, something like Sponsorblock is working quite well already for ads embedded in the video and unless YouTube makes serious sacrifices in UX I don't see how they could prevent this.
They already do stream ads from the same urls. It's why a pihole can't block youtube ads.
But you can tell what's coming, since apps like SmartTubeNext and Revanced can skip them.
It'll probably just be a cat and mouse game, as it always has been.

There are already open source Alternatives. But not federated.
What about peertube? Since Twitter -> Mastadon | Reddit -> Lemmy Why not Youtube -> Peertube next :D
@Onurb @Johanno with the urge of disabling adblocker it won’t take long i think…
But when YouTube does bad things, users tends to go on Odysee despite PeerTube 😞
Is there something wrong with odysee?
@rclkrtrzckr yeah the fact that is waste of electric power over PeerTube.
It lacks Federation too.
Shady blockchain service with almost no traffic except for some spikes in 2021.
There are tools to mirror YouTube content to YouTube as well. I'm considering adding some to my peertube instance just in case things start going down.
you are already seeing things such as nebula. to me it's amz
Replacing a megacorp service is only possible when the stars align and said megacorp makes a fuckup so big users start jumping and these users are still a tiny speck compared to the total userbase. Still I hope Reddit dies slowly.
