This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Amazon is doing the exact same thing. Just got an email today that they're shutting down the family Prime sharing thing. Had that for ten years now.
I finally gave up when they started blanking out my home page as I turned off history... I don't even miss it
Ill immediately cancel and goto pure piracy if they do this to me. I'm getting so tired of this shit 🥲
I'm on my brother's premium. I told myself if my brother stopped wanting to pay for it I'd pay for it myself because I hate ads that much.
On the other hand, if Youtube itself takes it away from me I'm going to just stop watching Youtube.
Revance if you're on android man. I mean I pay for premium but I still use it to patch the app at least.
On desktop, check out VacuumTube which is app that acts as a wrapper for YouTube Leanback (tv/console version) and has ad blocking built in.
I just got a notification that Amazon Prime is doing the same with grandafathered accounts allowed across households.
GTK. I think they flagged my account since I share it with my spouse and some of my basic features disappeared recently like mini-player in the browser. I might need to unsubscribe and just rely on Firefox with an ad blocker. Nebula and Patreon are good alternatives as well.

People buy a pile of rotting shit and then wonder why it stinks.
God forbid you have a parent who's living away from home for work purposes who's using that subscription
More people need to use Peertube.
Peertube needs monetization and the ability for people peer without self-hosting. A torrent client of sorts.
The product, in it's current form cannot replace Youtube. Youtube gives you traffic, a free place to host even your crappiest footage, and money if enough people start watching it regularly.
Peertube isn't free, it's just someone else footing the bill, which breaks under load.
