This is turning into a pretty decisive time in social media where we have the opportunity and momentum to move back to open systems. ๐ค
Youtube also is starting to experiment with locking people from watching videos if they have adblock turned on. We live in a truly great times where those behemoths are deciding to kill off themselves at the same time and it makes me truly happy. Open source FTW.
I gladly and happily pay for YouTube Premium and have had it since the days of just paying for Play Music Unlimited.
Hopefully they can figure a way to make more premium subscribers rather than trying to squeeze the people who can't pay cause youtube dying would be absolutely catestrophic
Loosing YT would be painful for me, but there's no way I'd start sitting through ads. I'd end up buying a nebula subscription or something at that point.
I was considering this too. I have a feeling a lot of creators are gonna move to nebula.
