Have you stopped watching videos, or did you move to another platform? I sometimes use Dailymotion, but I still watch Youtube sometimes too.
A bit of both. I just quit watching things on YouTube. Years ago I made it a point to not be tracked, use a third party client, and never subscribe to anything unless it could be done anonymous and third party.
I do have a subscription to Nebula and have three channels that I like and I hope it helps them, but I really only use it on the TV. Which I watch sparingly.
In general though: I just wont watch things on youtube and I really am not missing anything, because I almost always have something better to do.
Yeah, there isn't anything super important on youtube, but they do have a massive free movie and music library. That keeps a lot of people coming back, but they're not curing cancer over there, you won't lose anything if you skip Youtube
