I’m currently streaming YouTube on the TV as I type this.

It’s where all the good documentary and factual content has gone lately.

If there was a viable option, I’d use it.

I think by this point, the only option is breakup and mandatory federation with independent frontends, service providers all competing against each other. They have a monopoly.

Google would argue they don’t really have a monopoly since they compete against streaming, but that’s a malicious, pre-information age interpretation of monopoly power.

Because you can block ads. I don’t want to watch anything with ads, my free time is worth more than that.

The thing is if, you couldn’t block ads on YT, I would probably get premium, there is no way I am watching their ads.

Note, I do subscribe to multiple “indie” content creators that I enjoy, but I am not watching ads on YT (or anywhere else).

I would never pay to a service that is privacy intrusive.

The more we sub, the more they’ll make everything a sub. They’re eating your wallet with this crap.

I actually don’t mind the subscription model for content creators. I just wish Google (or any platform owner) would get a smaller cut due to a more competitive environment.

It’s the only place that hosts retrospectives of old games that I will never play, but love to learn about. :(
