What about with the shit coin?
Youtube is one of the most useful things that Google acquired after trying to bring it down with the flopped Google Videos (RIP), but even that is now getting plagued with advertisments and all kinds of nefarious trackings.
Give Odysee a try.
You are already on nostr reading this note, you might as well start using odysee for your daily music playing and other things. Besides having no ads, you can also download the musics without dramas.

Didn't knew it and didn't honestly even care enough to dig deeper until you asked.
From what I understand, you get credits when participating in the videos with likes and comments, you won't be able to upload videos without a few credits in your account.

Ya I use to try too but it’s tough
