I don't completely mind. This is a boon to platforms like Nebula and CuriosityStream, which I think respect creators more with revenue and users with no ads. Sure it's not free but there are no shennanigans like this.
If you don't mind paying though, just pay for YT Premium?
This is the reason why nothing will change. People continue to do the "easy way out". Keep paying the people trying to fuck over the content creators and the consumers cause it is easier than to find bullshit to satisfy your life. Good job.
I mean that's capitalism for you. I really don't care which name fucks me over. Video streaming is too expensive to do it federation based. So it's either paying someone else and hoping capitalist forces aren't pushing the other platform to act like YouTube in the future or stop watching YouTube style content.
