Let's all click on the link that says 'I feel like I'm falsely flagged' to give them some noise to work with.
This doesn't sound great. I feel like this could possibly backfire on them. At the very least I would hope they would reduce the cost of youtube premium then. If you aren't sharing a family plan with friends it's really expensive
Eh. I used to be a YouTube junkie but honestly I’ve gone back to live TV, Hulu, Netflix, etc… I’m kinda over the whole YouTube thing.
People should develop a federated video hosting service. It will be expensive but I know the community can do it.
peertube?
Doesn’t Peertube already do this?
LBRY is worth looking into, it's not quite federated but it is decentralized and based on blockchains.
I think this is because YouTube pushed so much its shorts (tiktok knockoff) but they're not as profitable. My guesstimate is that at least 70% of traffic is in shorts now so longer content is rarely played along with longer ads
I don’t want all the other crap that YT is offering with premium. $12/month is too much.
Not as good as not giving Google money but if you use a VPN and set your country to India or Argentina you can get premium for roughly $2/month
