Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅

Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?

the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it’s really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.

    The only problem with this is that more and more channels are adding native ads to their vids, and YT Premium doesn’t bypass those ads

      That’s on the creators tho, not the platform I feel like it’s not an argument against paying for the platform, at least not when there are plenty of videos that don’t do baked in sponsor ads.

      Edit: if you exclusively watch content with baked in ads, I can see it from a purely consumer end point of view.

        SponsorBlock is brilliant. It’s also integrated into the excellent SmartTube app for Android and Android TV, which also hides the normal ads, even if you don’t have premium

        Oh yeah I was referring to YouTube on TV. Gotta try smarttube next, last I checked it didn’t exist then
