Looks like its over for me and youtube. Being told I cant watch because of an ad blocker.

Where is everyone moving to and using instead of youtube? I will just move to the same place.

    I run a lemmy server and nobody pays anything to use it. It a public service by me for anyone.

    Just because some company hasnt figured out how to do it doesnt mean something cannot exist for the good of the public run by members of the public.

    Im not interested in conforming to imposed problems personally. Im interested in building resilient systems. That was why we invented technology as humans to begin with. Otherwise whats the point.

      Are you really trying to compare a text/link service with ~10k users to a HD video service with millions of users?

      Video bandwidth is expensive. Plus YouTube pays the creators too for producing the content. I subscribe to YouTube, and haven’t had a real TV subscription in years. Totally still saving money. In terms of hours per dollar per month, it’s gotta be pennies for me. Plus YouTube music and downloading to my phone to save data is kinda nice too.
