It’s slowed down significantly; but I’m so sick of getting a reply to every comment I post, disguised as the video creator, trying to phish me over to telegram or some other external bullshit.
Neat. I’ve used freetube before as well. But I keep wondering that if I’m paying for ad free and creators get more money from my views, how do the ad-free and privacy apps benefit the people that I watch regularly?
Though, I could pay every person I watch via patron, but I watch a lot of creators and not all at the same time. It would be too expensive to support them all through patreon vs YouTube unfortunately
Well for me personally will never sacrifice my personal freedom and privacy to “support the creator.” Not to say that you shouldn’t donate to them but keep in mind that YouTube is terrible for privacy and it encourages dark patterns.
Creators should have other affordable ways to support them that doesn’t involve the dirty JavaScript of YouTube. Additionally you should only support a handful of creators so you don’t encourage the “algorithm”
There are plenty of way to have an ad free experience and you can probably support creators 1000x more if you give your money’s subscription to them through patron or similar.
I miss the 2014 days when you could customize your channel with custom full-page backgrounds, flexbox organization, and transparency customization. I think at one point you could use your own CSS, although it was pre-CS3 so not great but still way better than the scraps we have now.
Honestly, it’s very frustrating because I rely on YouTube as a Creator and avid Commentator and I absolutely won’t give out the credentials used to post things to another party.
My dog does this, too. I come in carrying every bag, to avoid the dreaded second trip, and she pulls me down further, by sticking her nose in each bag, one-by-one to see if anything good is inside.
Sure it does, but we should ask why she became the meme and not any of the other billionaires, who are overwhelmingly white men.
It’s like when I pointed out to my kid that the Karen meme is pretty sexist, they pointed out that there’s also Ken. And I asked them, in all the meme compilations they watch, how many Kens are there for every ten Karens? They said, “maybe 2 or 3.” I pointed out that that imbalance is the problem, and they were like, “oooohh yeah.”
A 10 year old gets this when it’s explained to them simply. Anyone who pretends they don’t get this is covering for something they don’t want to admit.
I didn’t make that meme myself but I debated changing it to something Taylor Swift related for a moment, but then I thought that horse was pretty much dead already so I just left it as it is. She’s certainly not the only one doing this sort of stuff.
