YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

For this to happen, everyone using the internet should know HTML or there has to be a easy to use, MS Word-like web designer. And there should also be easy to use, free web hosting providers (neocities exists).

Owning a website as a non-techie should be normalized and be portrayed as "cool"

Hey, neocities is pretty good, I think I'll try to use chatgpt to get some boilerplate site running and then keep adding to it :)

These sites make me happy https://melonking.net/melon?z=%2Funiverse%2F 😂
