    I pay for a youtube premium family plan. Best money I spend monthly. I want to support the youtube creators that I watch, I don’t have to see ads (I block them anyway), and I get a music service included.

      revanue from yt premium views is like 1000x from ad views. that’s probably only going to get larger.

      if you dont believe in paying for your media then you give power to the advertisers.

    We did the Twitter to Mastodon migration. Now we are doing the Reddit to Lemmy/kbin migration. When are we doing the YouTube to Peertube migration?

      That’s impossible or at least very difficult, right now. Video content is very expensive. LBRY is the only feasible option.

      There is a federated version of YouTube…

      But storing video is a massive challenge, way harder than dealing with a Lemmy or Mastodon instance.
