    Oh, do you want my viewing experience to be worse? Well don’t worry, because I’m doing my best so PeerTube has quality content in a weekly basis, while you also have the same content in a monthly basis.

      Asking genuinely, if you were in charge of YouTube, and you don’t think anyone should pay for YouTube, and you don’t think you should run ads, how exactly would you go about paying for the massive amount of engineers and infrastructure needed to keep the lights on?

        I don’t mind paying for YouTube content. I do mind their data harvesting, however. Figured out that my life isn’t diminished at all without Youtube.

    Hey Google, you gotta remember that you won’t get any ad revenue from people who get fed up with your shit and just stop going to YouTube.

    Then, use a program that is a different YouTube Front End.

    On Android phones, you can download NewPipe or LibreTube from the F-Droid store. These will allow you to subscribe to channels and to watch without ads.

    You can use Invidious instances or you can setup your own to watch through a website.
    Invidious Instances: https://docs.invidious.io/instances
    Invidious GitHub Code: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious

    Because YouTube does not pay most creators enough to live on, please support your favorite YouTubers using Patreon, Locals, or wherever.
