No time like the present to begin creating a European alternative, given the geopolitics of the times.

I've long said to myself, the day revanced, smarttube and adblockers stop working is the day I stop browsing YT.

I watched my son showing me something the other day, he can't yet login via revanced so still has ads, what a shit show.

I asked him how he copes with all the ads, he said I'm dumb to them now I just ignore it. But still coming from zero ads to that was a very jarring experience.

How about we collectively say fuck youtube and move content to Odysee or something else?

I'm fine with uBlock, but wouldn't it be better if we just kill alphabet progressively? I'm already out Gsuite (nextcloud), gmail (own server), search (duckduckgo), chrome (firefox), I dont even link my phone to a gmail account. i just need to get ride of yt.

I'm self-hosting Invidious... I get a nice, free YouTube experience without ever visiting YouTube.

I'd love to see a transition to other platforms like Nebula. As users it would be nice to start choosing by principles too.

Wait so you pay for premium and still get ads?

YouTube has so many ads now it's ridiculous. Yesterday YouTube threatened me with the popup even though I have UBlock on Firefox. I've seen 10 ads on a 20 minute video. As if the un-skipabble 2 minute long ads that pause when you switch tabs wasn't bad enough, YouTube is now putting ads in their Premium.

YouTube is in dire need of a big competitor and fast.

Would you like to pay us and have ads?

Oh fuck odd Google. Literally the only reason I was paying for your crap videos is so I could play music on my TV uninterrupted.
