So let’s get talking about ways to move away from YouTube. Are there any surviving competitors? Any tech tricks we can use to beat them? I won’t pay them and I won’t watch their ads.

Yeah I was going to respond “Well it better get ready I guess”, as I agree, this content reads like disparagement instead of encouragement
