You have to censor shit on YouTube now, and all the Youtuber's are embedding ads into their videos. Having premium at this point just means you wont be fucked with Google's ad revs as well.
Though I am grateful not to be Gang-banged with a bunch of shit I don't want to buy - with all the demonetization drama shit on top of that, I cant help but feel like Youtube is on it's death bed.
I'm getting nostalgic for watching atheist vs christian debates with adblock, and calling people faggots in the replys. Now all the music is owned by VEVO, and corporate media networks dominate the news hashtags.
This thing is getting just as sterile as TV - Someone has to develop an independent video sharing site that doesn't exclusively appeal to nazi's and pedo's, so it can actually grow and compete with this garbage. Should be easy if you can "federate it"; They may be echo chambers, but at least they'll be free of this kind of market manipulation, corporate pig trough AIDS.
tl;dr: #Youtube used to be cancer, and I miss her :(

@lavaender I miss these wild west days of YouTube. Crappy web interface. Crappy Flash Video interface. You could PM content creators, do video replies and much more. Now its essentially what you describe.

@xyfdi RIPFLASH
@xyfdi YOOOO YES I remember that now. Damn, Im pretty sure I told The amazing atheist to suck my dick. People used to make vids about their crazy dms. It was kind of like twitter with videos threads. You used to wait for the video responses or you knew they bitch made. Dudes used troll videos reply guy shit hard - thats how all those old debates went down.... now im sad.
