People will always rationalize their not paying. Tracking, ethics, whatever. Anything other than abstaining from use, lol.

- InCityDreams 3y agoNope. Thanks to this site i (finally, and only about an hour ago) got newpipe from fdroid, subscribed to all my channels, and sod youtube, I'm not going back. An appropriate ad occasionally, no problem. But recently?? With newpipe there's a way out: i will happily contribute.
- endisneigh 3y agoUsing New pipe is not abstaining from YouTube, lol.
- xigoi 3y agoI'd gladly not use YouTube if the creators uploaded their videos somewhere else.

- judge2020 3y agoYouTube is too lucrative of a platform to pass up. It's not just hosting, but literally sending droves of viewers their way, and making sure those viewers are paying to watch in a way that enables those creators to earn a living. Take any large creator and 95-100% of their regular fanbase probably wouldn't follow them to another platform (unless it's so big that all/most of their favorite creators also go to the same platform). Any other platform not only needs to offer cheap/free video hosting, but also send tons of users content similar to their interests in a way that enables new and up-and-coming creators to grow, and it needs to provide a way to pay out those creators, or there's a negative incentive to send any viewers to the other platform that strictly makes them no money.
- occz 3y agoPlenty of creators upload their things both to YouTube and Nebula, and I choose Nebula for the ones that do. The app isn't perfect, but it gets the job done.
- zlg_codes 3y agoYoutube's free to block whoever they want. People will gain access to what they want, independent of economic or governmental forces.
