The best decision YouTube ever did.
(lemm.ee)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
They'll soon also block you from watching videos if you are using an adblocker.
Well, no shite. I'll use Chromium without adblock and signed-in account, then. I'll separate my YouTube and personal web browsing... oh wait, Firefox Containers exist.
I'm definitely not going to watch ads if there's no way around them. I'd just move on. The platform has been on a constant downfall for me over the past decade anyway. Most of it is just clickbait shit and the recommendation algorithms became worse and worse too. Same with the search function. They don't even allow you to search for explicit terms using quotation marks anymore and I still don't understand why they did that. All my search results are muddled with unrelated garbage now, often times in front of the stuff I actually want to find.
Nebula seems like a cool concept. Not sure if there is enough content to be worth it for me yet (I dont watch much youtube to begin with), but I definitely like the idea. They are also currently partnered with a documentary service, so that might push me into it though.
If you want to pay for ad free YT then you can just pay for ad free YT.
I don't want ad free youtube. I want a platform that isn't going to recommend garbage, has fair profit sharing with creators and doesn't encourage creators to pump out garbage based off of their business model.
Then Nebula isn't for you either. It's 90% the same content that's on YT, including a bunch of the clickbait bullshit.
