Not enough people buying Premium, eh? - Sopuli

Lemmy

They finally shut off my premium account in Argentina for $3 and now I’ve been blasted with ads so much it’s unbearable. Like 3 ads every 3 mins pretty much.

Maybe I can try again in another country but will I’m pretty sure they’re wise to it and demand a card used be of the same country too.

It’s fine on my of but on the tvs where I mostly consume it’s hell on earth!

God damn YouTube. Why do we like it so much.

It’s a great product. It is thanklessly maintained by a single developer who is constantly fighting Youtube changes to break it. If you do use it and like it, and you can afford it, please consider a few bucks a month via patreon to keep it alive.

A lot of these services are just passion projects by odd individual developers who create something for themselves and then share it with the rest of the world.

Github is great for this kind of spontaneous innovation. But it doesn’t do a good job of organizing communities at large. Why have six different “YouTube cleanup service” alternatives when you could have a single collaborative team working towards the same end-goal? Why are people constantly trying to “fix” YouTube when what we really seem to want is an alternative media host?
