“The day Ad Block no longer works… I will no longer using youtube” - I noticed that some people treat this comment as a joke, or whatever but …
I personally will give up on youtube if this happens. I really plan detox.
Do we have alternative?
Yes, in form of BLOGS!
Here on mastodon, there’s a lot of great people that have value too, and many have personal blogs - i think they are worth of attention.
Because businesses, tech companies overload web with garbage … what we need is to build a “space” without that crap.
A small little space in web, like BSD Cafe.
I learned how to live without facebook, i never touched things like tiktok etc. . .
I’m ready to ditch my google account. The last piece… is to just buy a new phone, install alternative OS on mobile and at this point i will be done with google.
People need to build their own spaces and services.
It’s important to teach people reaching this kind of independence.
To have better web, we need to start small and built it by yourself … it’s sad but true.
What big tech companies do is out of control anyway.

Okay but, who learned people to make money on youtube? … google!
People made content even for free in the past!
Because google started to pay, now You have like tons of creators that make cheap content just for clicks.
And yes, there’s very little of good and quality content. There’s very little number of creators that makes very good job.
The others just want to clickbait You and waste Your time on stuff You can find out in minute on the web.

If they force ads You will have max 15, maybe 20 minute video … Now how much time You will waste if we get forced ads + creator sponsorship block on the video timeline?
IDK how others but, if i need something, i search on the web and buy it. I do not see point wasting my time by hearing another “this video is sponsored by” or watching ad about something i’m not interested, or i do not need at all.
I’m too strong, and they are unable to create a need in me with ad … this is complete waste of time, and because this is MY TIME … they should PAY ME for wasting THAT TIME.
I’m adult and I RESPECT, MY TIME. I do not feel i should pay someone for this, this is insane. It’s better off not wasting time at all and buy a book.
“It’s really hard to make money in other way than ads.” - yes, and no one told us before we born that anything will be easy 🙂
About netflix, i promise You that … any tv show i watched, was with sub.
And i told my sister that if we get release of another season of Arcane, Wednesday, One Piece then we get sub for month and watch stuff we want.
I respect Your POV, but when it comes to ads, i do not feel this is okay.
