I'm pretty happy paying for YouTube Premium; it seems like a fair deal given how much my family uses YouTube. But I'm worried that sooner or later YouTube Premium is gonna get Google Graveyarded, or they're going to insert ads anyway.

I had a good YouTube binge last night, and my ublocker worked fine. Google didn't do anything

They are only rolling this out to a subset of people.

Twitch is worse, in general.

At least youtube tends to crack down on the pornography on their site, while twitch features it on the front page and actively advertises it

Literally some almost completely naked OnlyFans reject on the front page, right now, doing jumping jacks to make her tits flop about.

Somewhat related, how has people's experience been with Viewtube?

[–] irotsoma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Good thing I avoid YouTube as much as possible.
