To the YouTube apologists in this thread, where were you when there were no ads?
For years YouTube allowed content creators to post videos without any ability to monetize, and they harvested your data and sold it while they did.
Where were you then you hypocrites?
Now, YouTube provides the worst possible solution to monetisation, removes existing affordable ad free tiers, and sells your data without sharing the proceeds to creators.
You're bootlickers. Get out of your armchair and actually help content creators instead of giving your cash to a company who syphons off most of it to further abuse you and creators you like.
I used to have a pixel art tut on YouTube, about 30k views. as they kept changing their terms as the time went by, in my disfavor, and in the user's disfavor, I deleted the video. fuck them.
Havent done too much research but I'd suggest uploading that tut to a YouTube alternative, be it peertube, rumble, or kick
Good for you. You should consider moving your content to Nebula or the likes. It helps people like me support you without propping up a malicious middleman like Google.
