CW: re: Youtube pricing hot take
@0xtdec You and I are on the same path. I've been paying for Youtube Premium for years because I had that option and it was easier than blocking their ads and came with other benefits, but more and more, like the streaming services, they are starting to increasingly monetizing from users and I find myself start to day dream about sailing the dark seas. Something about the brisk sea water on my face that is comforting in a nostalgic kind of way.
I am curious, though. How are others navigating these choppy waters? Any alternative solutions or platforms you're considering? Would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations!
