    They want people to start using YT Premium while slowly blocking ad-blockers, but they increase the subscription price… what?

        As a corporation they are always going to be greedy, but calling them dumb is an extreme underestimation.

      That’s why they increased the price. They know soon you won’t have a choice

          the issue is the creators people follow are often only on YouTube (it’s the only platform that makes sense for long form content which is all I watch). I think there’s a few smaller ones like Rumble but that’s like lemmy to reddit (at this point), there’s just not the depth of content there particularly around niche communities. youtube has us by the balls and they know it, and while I firmly believe eventually a competitor will reach critical mass, its a while off
