YouTube slowly trying to push me off their platform.

I will quit YouTube before watching ads.

quick, question. Would you be willing to pay for a "premium" video hosting website? I'm not doing s study I'm just curious. Caz I think paying isn't the problem it's yt, We know very well that it can survive with moderate ads, but what about a payed platform that has no ads and doesn't sell your data?

Shoutout to nebula. Depending on how much content you consume it might not be enough for you, but it's cool to have an independent platform doing stuff.
