    I’m not a mindless consumer (aka sheeple) for making a decision someone else doesn’t approve of.

    The alternatives to YouTube Premium are

    • Ads: won’t happen

    • Ad-Block: won’t work (anymore)

    • no YouTube: there are no great free or cheaper alternatives

      “I’m not a mindless consumer! I just said I’ll pay for something I don’t have to, to a corporation that doesn’t need the money, that’s all!”

        Where do I get the same content where the creators get paid too?

        I can currently choose between other paid services or systems that circumvent any gratification for the artists.

            I’ve never used Patreon so maybe I don’t get it right but:

            Not every Youtube channel has a Patreon, and even then I’d have to pledge every single one that does which would ruin me.

      The end of YouTube would not be a terrible outcome. Instead of a worldwide monopoly on DIY video, new and perhaps less evil options would have a chance.
