I hope they understand soon why we have ALL of those tweaks and adblockers. Because vanilla youtube SUCKS, Ads everywhere, not customizable and tracking even if you are paying.
The web should have had a Terms of Usage from start. Something like
“If you broadcast content on the internet, expect people to download it.”
They’ll fail so hard, can’t wait to watch this train wrack. If YouTube is gone tomorrow this is just a little inconvincing to me. Competition will pop up for every single element. Be it gaming, music or video trailer or fan made content. YouTube is stacking so high, they haven’t noticed we’re ready to replace them. Not one huge new YouTube, just small parts and people create 4-10 bookmarks to get the same content.
This is the same comment that appears on every YT update for 15 years. No, it won’t happen. YT is too big to fail and real competition is almost non-existent (due to various reasons). Some have tried, all have failed, unfortunately.
Also, I’m sure people would rather pay a monthly subscription than go to other plattforms.
I just use revanced
Luckily Piped, Invidious and others are still doing its thing.
It’s probably due to Invidious and Piped instances getting rate limited. LibreTube uses them as the source of the videos, i think.
