YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
You can watch any YouTube video on Invidious, Peertube is a federated alternative to Youtube, Odysee is a blockchain based Youtube alternative that kicks back to creators and users, and many creators use Nebula as a subscription platform that directly pays them.
@ram@Pechente but there business model is suspicious. They introduced a lifetime membership, how would that cover their bandwidth costs for those users?
Unless they’re trying to grow the platform fast and hope for a buy out. But then any prior promises would likely be changed/revoked.

Nebula is really good at this point. Almost everything I enjoy watching is one there now.
Seems like one of the best options to support your favorite creators.
