A big problem with peertube is monetization. There should be some sort of mechanism that'd do that automatically. Otherwise there won't be much content ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that it exists but just don't see it replacing even few % of YouTube as it is.
Monetization itself is the problem.

I use a VPN so yeah that's not going to work.
I suspect Google won't care if they "accidentally" lock VPN users out of YouTube Premium.

I only simp for Steam.
Gabe and his 300 yachts thanks you.

Fuck em. We try to pay even tho we know how to get it for free. Go back to ad blockers.
Not a perfect experience but it’s better than putting up with that corporate bullshit.

I just got a notification that Amazon Prime is doing the same with grandafathered accounts allowed across households.

Videos from YouTube
How does one pirate free videos? Is there somebody uploading torrents of YouTube videos?

I used to be an a friend's planning exchange for sharing Disney plus. But he booted me after I kept putting weird shit on his family calendar.
"Wash that thing on your back that's hard to reach and puts out a putrid smell."
"Soak feet in melted butter."
I've been a premium member since then. I've been watching the battle with ad blockers from the sidelines.
Who is winning that battle? This will inform my next move.

More people need to use Peertube.

That amount of money should go to Peertube instead…

Automated Youtube pirate server that streams to your TV with UPNP?
Have any more details for me? I have a small home server for them.

Why pay for premium anyway? Let alone a family plan. You still get ads. They can be skipped too — SponsorBlock will do it for free. Google could use this but chooses not to.
They want YouTube to be like cable TV. You pay for it. You watch ads. You pay more for premium channels.
YouTube is fucking garbage.
I don't care about the ads because it's fucking garbage, and why would I watch garbage?

As someone with divorced parents this invalidates what I call a "family". Same to you... Netflix

YouTube is my only subscription.
I use it for Music and Video. I definitely get my money's worth, they're streaming to me at least 8 hours a day.
If it's not background music, it's videos. I can't even fathom how many hours of ads I have avoided.

Deactivated Premium recently. I used their music app when driving – expecting some ads now - nope, it just doesn’t allow running in the background anymore.
Seems like such a hostile thing - I’d like to think running ads would be a positive net income for them. (Now that I think of it - maybe they don’t have it built out into their music service.)

Firefox + ublock origin still works to block all YouTube ads
Invidious is a frontend for YouTube that blocks all their trackers and ads
PeerTube is an alternative community ran platform to replace YouTube in the future
-
you're gonna have to get ads
I don't think that necessarily follows.
Have you heard of self-hosted Patreon-similar Ghost ?
No, and neither has anybody else. Not saying that to be rude or dismissive, but just using their own numbers on the front page to paint a picture. They have ~3,000 paying members as of right now. Patreon has over 10,000,000 paying members, and even then only a tiny, tiny fraction of their creators are actually sustainable.
Paid subscription services like this are a great idea, in theory; I'd love to get away from ad-supported platforms. But the truth is that they just don't work for all but a few lucky people.

NewPipe told me I was IP banned last week but it went away.
I'd rather stop using than give them money.
This happens to me too when I watch to many videos of the same kind. Restarting my router solves it.

That is simple and clean enough for less tech savvy people?
Yeah no

same here, but even I'm looking to cancel both to avoid supporting a US company and because they're making my experience worse by having a shitty user experience
-
Same here. I’ve cancelled Netflix, never got Disney plus, never use prime (though I think I have access to something through prime shipping).
YouTube however; I watch this every single day, use it for learning, relaxation, documentaries etc.
It’s a fantastic platform and well worth the subscription AFAICS.
Yeah, and let’s not forget that as good portion of that premium sub goes directly to content creators
