This doesn't sound great. I feel like this could possibly backfire on them. At the very least I would hope they would reduce the cost of youtube premium then. If you aren't sharing a family plan with friends it's really expensive

Lol. Guess it's time to add the rest of my subbed channels to YT-DL and ditch their shitty ad-filled site entirely.
Shit do I care, lol. Ok, whatever tube ...
a) Linux, Firefox + uBlockOrigin + Enhancer for YouTube;
b) Android, Firefox + uBlock Origin + Video Background Play Fix;
c) I never ever use any account or login into the youtube. Playlists? I got favorites/bookmarks in browser :) Voting, comments? I don't care. Native youtube android apk? Never. So no tracking and stats for you, and no dumb auto recomendations for me. Thanks.
P.S. oh, and all cookies are auto deleted on last tab close. Bye.
So, strike me how? Close whole site or put everything under paywall and die? Hahah.
I don’t want all the other crap that YT is offering with premium. $12/month is too much.
Not as good as not giving Google money but if you use a VPN and set your country to India or Argentina you can get premium for roughly $2/month
Let's all click on the link that says 'I feel like I'm falsely flagged' to give them some noise to work with.
In cases when viewers feel they have been falsely flagged as using an ad blocker, they can share this feedback by clicking on the link in the prompt.
Hands up if you've been through Facebook's ban appeal process and know that this, too, will consist of an automated decision to deny your appeal months after the ban would have ended anyway.
The markets demand more profitability dude
But that's like.. anti-consumer dude. These guys are nihilists.
People should develop a federated video hosting service. It will be expensive but I know the community can do it.

Glad I deleted my Google account. I just use peer tube now. TILvids is a great instance.
I haven't tried peertube yet - do I need an app/client on Android? Any recommendations?
