This kind of crap is driving popular creators, like Geerling, to move to other places. YT / Alphabet has lost the plot.
I tried a couple of other platforms but I keep running into a moderation issue where the other platforms market to the sort of people who would be permanently banned from YouTube.
Yep. Most of my favorite creators are on Nebula now.
The ones that aren't get watched on SmartTube or in Brave Browser.
Closed source, centralized and not even free...
Hypocritical Lemmy.... Preaching (F) OSS and then using Brave.... LoL!
Brave is open source and using MPL license which is the same license Firefox is using. I am not using or recommending Brave to anyone.
I will flat out shut down any Brave user simply because it tried to push crypto.
No thanks :)
Not just crypto, they were diverting ad revenue from websites to themselves, collecting unsolicited donations for content creators without their consent, suggesting affiliate links in the address bar and installing a paid VPN service without the user's consent. Don’t forget they had a “bug” in Tor which sent all DNS queries to your ISP instead of routing it through tor and also weak fingerprint protection. Not to mention the political affiliation of the CEO. But it IS open source.
Still fuck them (openly). From the source of my heart :)
No one is forcing brave on you lol
I love Nebula. I go there to watch Nebula Exclusives but it's not great for browsing or discovering new channels...I found everyone I subscribe to on YouTube first
I managed to find Extra History via Nebula, and it's one of my new favorite channels...but I've found a lot more favorites from YouTube, definitely.
One thing I do love is finding a new channel I like that has years of backlog.
