Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium - eviltoast

Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

    Okay, so this actually has nothing to do with how YouTube “demonitizes content creators, while protecting doxxers and content thieves”. It’s actually just about you not wanting to pay for it.

    Which is fine! But why lie to yourself about it?

      Why not both? I can disdain YouTube for shitting on creators while refusing to pay for subpar service.

        Wouldn’t it be better then to instead watch those creators on a platform that treats the creators better?

          Such as? Newgrounds is great for animation, but everyone else suffers with YT.

            Odysee is pretty alright, maybe nebula? I haven’t used either a significant amount so i couldn’t give out recommendations. I personally doubt they are as good as YT though.
