So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did… you know… and we’re on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

as disgusting as it feels, I think paying for Youtube Premium is a pretty good deal. You get no ads, and creators get much, much more money per view. I’m not sure what it is for videos, but with Youtube Music, by band gets literally ten times as much per listen from as Premium subscriber than an “ad supported” one. Given the sheer amount of otherwise free high quality material on the platform, the tiny amount they ask each month for it is pretty decent. IMO, YMMV, IANAL, consult your doctor before taking, etc

Fair point. I watch a lot of YT and block ads (though it sounds like they’re finally cracking down on that). I support some creators on Nebula and Patreon, but I guess YT Premium is basically like those.

Because of the increased revenue to creators I don’t feel so bad about installing sponsorblock to skip in-video ads

Me and my partner pay jointly for Premium and I wouldn’t want to go back. No ads on any device we watch on, knowing that the creators get a good chunk of change from it, is bliss.

Got YT Premium for my family the past few years, it’s been great NGL. It probably gets more use than any other streaming service, and would probably be the last paid service i gave up for video.
