If I may offer a new way to think about things - YouTube ads support creators by allowing them to make a living making their videos. It’s quite different than Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, where a company is just hosting and monetizing people discussing and sharing things with each other. If you want to see good content, YouTube decentralized alternatives will really only take off if there is some sort of crowd funding going to creators. Which would most likely take the form of a subscription. And…that is essentially YouTube premium anyway. And I might add that I’ve had YouTube premium for years and it’s my favorite subscription I have across the entire internet.

This is not due to subscriptions - the same thing can be seen logged out. Additionally, communities you are not subscribed to show up in the home feed - you would need to block such communities to not see content from them. You could make the argument that one should really just browse communities you’re interested in without viewing the home page, which is fair. However, take technology for example. There are many positive innovations that can be talked about. Instead - Right now, the posts in order, summarized in the same format as my post would be: 1. Corporation bad (ally bank). 2. global warming dystopia (Texas heat) 3. corporation bad (Netflix raising prices) 4. corporation bad (Elon Musk sued) 5. regular post 6. corporation bad (playstation store crap) 7. regular post 8 through 11 is corporation bad and AI dystopia news.

With term limits of course. Idk there could be a possibility that they’d take the planet seriously though as they’d be around to see the consequences of environmental policy

I wonder what people will look like in their reverse-puberty stage.

We could start by giving it to congress

And yet Apollo was made by one guy and it’s far better than anything Reddit made

Is it possible to require an authentication app or something to make an account? Require a specific score on a flash game like snake? Or is that stupid? I don’t know, I’m not a dev ¯_(ツ)_/¯
