Some of you have probably heard that YT wants to bypass ad blockers by injecting ads directly into the stream server-side.

They assume you'll succumb to your dopamine addiction and give up. Or that you'll subscribe to their premium service. Don't do that, it's a trap.

First, it costs $10/month. Then, when enough addicts have subscribed, they increase the price. And then they increase it again. And then they say, "we could insert a little advertising. At least at the beginning and the end." And then comes 1-2 ads in between. And then they increase the price again. And so on.

Don't fall for it, educate them instead. Collectively. Simply avoid YT. Until add-on developers have caught up (might happen quicker than we think. They're probably working on it already). Or switch to other video services.

Content creators, start looking for alternative platforms to upload your stuff. Don't go down with them.

Have a bit of honor, don't get fooled in the same way every time. Invest in one streaming service you like and forget about YT and the rest. Don't give them another $10. Instead, buy Bitcoin with it. Read a book.

Fuck youtube. Rumble gaining momentum which I am thankful for.

Been using Rumble for a year now but seriously considering uploading direct to Nostr

Maybe https://nostr.build/ is a good idea.

Yeah, this could certainly help with large files

how about odysee.com , it's building a new decentralized network on top of arweave/ao infrastructure to be censorship-resistant for their own use and others.

Yes, wanted to point to it, but I forgot the name.

I have yet to check them out but have friends that really like them. Definitely seems like another good option!

BTW, they're even thinking of rolling out more websites/apps based on their WIP new decentralized network like reddit alternative and other stuff in the future.

Odysee and Rumble are both great although Odysee is much better, supports RSS feeds and is partly open source. Our channel is synced to both.
