Personally I will just watch some videos on YouTube from time to time to let the service and the creators stay afloat, most of the time I just use NewPipe. I will use ads time to get something to eat before the video starts.
same. I wonder why almost none of them have a different way to access the videos… Do a torrent, do your own peertube, your own website or whatever, it’s not that hard!!
I was a bit unclear, but I meant that they get enough money not to care about us who use clients such as NewPipe so they don’t block us completely due to lack of income, never underestimate Google’s power.
Exactly that! Every day I thank the people who do their best to stay up to the changes YouTube makes to break NewPipe and other clients and hope YouTube doesn’t go further to use DRM or something worse… I still hope for a way to monetize PeerTube so other creators would switch, Odysee seems to be getting traction but I am not informed enough to know if it’s a better alternative to YouTube, I hope it is.

I can understand feeling sympathy towards the content creators but the service ehh? I would be glad if my favorite creators would ditch addtube.

Fair point. Selfish as it may be, it’s in our advantage for these tools to be unpopular.
