Good morning Nostr 🌞

I've figured out a way to search for YouTube videos prior to 2021, which is great because it's so depressing how it's almost entirely AI slop now.

I used to get a lot of comfort out of watching people talk philosophy during coffee, it creates like a parasocial relationship. Not great, but better than nothing. AI makes it feel even more lonely to be alone. And it creates awful, shallow, trite versions of the deep discussions I crave.

I am really hating the sponsors still. I pay for premium to avoid ads, but when did content creators start heavily including ads in the content to bombard premium users with ads still?

Is Nostr working on a client that will bring back the "You" in "YouTube"? It feels more like AITube now and I hate it.

So two alternatives, I've seen some Fediverse people use Odysee, which has some kind of build-in crypto monetization scheme (not BTC)... And then, on the other side of the political divide is Rumble, which is supposedly also thinking about implementing Zaps or something like that.

YouTube alternatives are still a tough thing to provide in a good decentralized way, because of storage and bandwidth needs.
