In the U.K. YouTube is £16 a month — that’s $20 a month.
I use YouTube far less than Netflix, Disney, Amazon, bbc, all of which are cheaper. Many YouTube videos come with burnt in adverts too.
- gymbeaux 3y agoyeah I'm done with Linus Tech Tips videos for that reason. Knowing them, their Floatplane (YouTube/Twitch competitor) platform has the "after this segue... from our sponsor!" bits edited out. Like even they know YouTube is dying.
- no_carrier 3y ago> Like even they know YouTube is dying I'm not sure how you drew that conclusion. Of course Floatplane subscribers get the sponsorships edited out, that's the benefit of being a sponsor. LTT was worried about their Youtube dependence, so created Floatplane. The fact of the matter is they wouldn't be in existence without Youtube and would probably die, even with Floatplane now existing. There's no evidence anywhere that Youtube is dying.
- gymbeaux 3y agoThe advent of competitors isn’t evidence? Why would they spend millions to build an entire YouTube competitor? I’m not sure how you can say “YouTube isn’t dying” and “LTT is worried about relying on YouTube” in the same breath. Linus was always complaining about YouTube from a creator’s POV.
- midasuni 3y agoIt would be a foolish person to build their company in the success of another than have no say about. The local farmer sells to 10 shops. Each shop buys from 10 farmers. Sure you can hitch your wagon. It’s a massive risk, sometimes unavoidable. It makes perfect sense to diversify your supply chain.
