The trouble with that is that there is barely any money outside of YouTube.
I read somewhere that nebula was paying a good bit more per view, and paid per minute watched

Idk how one gets content on Nebula, but I wish more creators would join. Ik nebula isn’t Fediverse like PeerTube, but I still really like it and think it’s worth the $30/year to not get ads.
Being a majority artist owned co-op is in the fedi spirit. I know Rebecca Watson is crushing it on Mastodon, are there any other nebula/fedi crossover creators you’d recommend?

Thats a good one for 0.5x (soup store)

Using uBO, but have noticed a slightly longer delay of a few seconds between hitting play and the video starting, but I can deal with that over being forced to watch 30s of ads.
Honestly it just felt like youtube's servers were shittimg themselves again, so I baely even register it as a real interruption.

They've already tried this.
We've already sidestepped it.
It's just going to keep on going like this till a viable alternative shows up.

"Might"? They're already doing it.
YouTube in Firefox with Ublock Origin is getting throttled down to 1500kbps. I can't watch anything above 720p on my desktop anymore (with gigabit internet).
YouTube ReVanced on mobile and SmartTube Next on the TV still thankfully work without issues.
I was watching 4k yesterday.
Ublock has it sorted by the time they find me. -

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they're philosopher kings because they play video games.
Youtube acting like it has anything to offer
This is weapons-grade copium, there is no other platform with even 1% of the content on YouTube.

We need to find ways to pressurize the content creators to upload to alternative platforms like Odysee, Rumble, Nebula, Peertube, Misskey etc...
Nebula is an invite basis

YouTube was lagging to play vids the other day now i wonder if it was A B testing. screw off YouTube. 10 ads for a 20 minute video isn't normal and never will be. also the ads pause if you aren't watching them. wtf? as always I expect uBlock Origin to get around this

They do it to groups of people at a time to prevent mass anger and hysteria. Don't worry you'll eventually get throttled too.

I use an old outdated version of FF because the new v3 google bullshit isn't supported for my os version.
it was working fine one day and then a week after the official "cut off" it just slowed down and dropped quality.
it's ok though. I don't mind switching the quality and waiting for videos to buffer.
