This is the latest #youtube "innovation". #Google with a market cap of $1.7 trillion and $120 billion cash on hand, "needs" to charge for ads on YouTube.
This is, of course, not true. They have more than enough revenue to run YouTube without ads in perpetuity, but they want to please shareholders. The #Peertube community is showing how you can distribute the costs of hosting content as well. If you don't support Google's continued monetization of monopolized video...vote with your feet.
Observed at a #library near me. Books contain knowledge. Knowledge is power. That's something you should keep in mind when someone is trying to take a book away from you.
Be sure to support your local libraries. They need it more than ever.
I saw this comment on an article posted on @arstechnica about #YouTube increasing their price for YouTube Premium. And yes, YT does need competition, the problem is most creators want their content to be seen, and hopefully get compensation for the effort involved in making the content, and #Google simply has the cash and gravitational presence to make it happen.
If you want competition, start supporting alternatives, and letting creators know that you won't be watching their content on YT. 💙
I guess the mods at the #mastodon sub-reddit aren't a fan of the "Mastodon in 180 Seconds" video. Fortunately, the *real* Mastodon community is much cooler. 😄
If you missed the post from earlier today, here's a link to the video!
Seems like it's just a matter of time at this point. Personally, I'm spending less time every day on Twitter and greatly enjoying the #Mastodon community instead.
