A Place to discuss drama in the online creator space. This is retaining the spirit of the original subreddit. This includes drama pertaining across multiple platforms, not just youtube but it could include twitch, kick, rumble, tiktok, twitter and more.

Remember, whilst we do discuss drama topics that relate to public figures we do not condone harassment, doxing, stalking and other illegal actions against these creators.

...

Rules:

1. Be Respectful

2. No Illegal Content

3. No Spam

4. No Porn/Sexually Explicit Content

5. No Enciting Harassment, Brigading, Doxxing or Witch Hunts. Discussions about creators should remain here, you should not actively encourage or engage in online harassment campaigns against anyone discussed on here.

6. NSFW should be behind NSFW tags.

7. Content should relate to creators online, it could be anyone who is publically facing; Content Creators, Influencers, Streamers, Bloggers etc...

...

Update by retaining the spirit of the original subreddit, I should state minus weird mod behaviour!

Not sure why you'd subscribe to YouTube Premium though.

Use Piped, LibreTube, NewPipe, etc and you'll get pretty much all the functionalities for free. Plus privacy.

I don't; I have NewPipe and 2 of its forks installed.

Frankly, YouTube should just tolerate the cheaters because they still bring more money than what I think ads would, and when they get screwed over they will likely not buy the service again.

I subscribe because 55% of my premiums go to the content creators and I don't mind paying to support them and understand that there are very real server costs.

I'm a senior dev. I can definitely afford it and want all of the content creators to be able to continue to make videos. Privacy is the only reason I'd really want to use an alternative but I've put a fair amount of effort into making it hard to track me across websites or devices including degoogling other than YouTube.

That's actually a good reason that I didn't think of. You can definitely do whatever you like with your money and do makes you happy.

That being said, YouTube most likely takes a big cut. If your goal is to support creators, you could consider donating directly to them. Ideally, the full amount.

For example, Patreon but it also takes a cut.

Liberapay, a less popular but free and open source alternative to Patreon. It doesn't take a cut.

Paypal donations.

Etc.

Don't forget Tubular! It's NewPipe with SponsorBlock embedded in it.

Too confusing and too much effort for many people

[–] thefrankring 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but when YouTube becomes too painful to bear, then people might change.

Yea true, there is always a limit people can bare
