This is one of the many reasons that Google has never had me as a paying customer, even though I like YouTube's content enough to pay something for it. Over the years, things like this have eroded the trust I have for Google to effectively zero.
Instead I pay other services like Nebula to watch creators I first discovered on YouTube. Unfortunately, most creators don't have an alternative like this in place.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoWhat makes you think Nebula doesn't do the same thing?
- atomicfiredoll 3y agoLike I said, there are several factors in my decision making. At this point I assume most services will eventually succumb to enshittification. So, bouncing between ships, bailing as they start to sink feels like the name of the game. It's not necessarily that I trust Nebula, it's that I don't trust the advertising company, Google. That said, some other reasons that work in Nebula's favor are that the creators seem to be involved in the ownership and they can publish material without the fear of YouTube's demonetization. The value proposition isn't exactly one to one and goes beyond the advertising/funding.
