    Honestly, as much as it pains me to say, I would pay for something below Premium. Like YouTube Plus or whatever. So I could get reduced ads, but not the crazy 3 minutes of ads they’ll probably go to. I think Premium is $12 USD a month right now, I would want something at $6 (preferably $5). I don’t think it’s worth it for me to pay $12 for the amount I watch YouTube, but some of the info on YouTube is worth paying a little something for them to host it. I’m definitely going to start downloading some videos now though in case YouTube gets worse and worse…

    I agree wholeheartedly with this. Recently, I was subbed to overlapping sources on kbin and Lemmy and I realized I had to cut the fat. I see similar posts covering the same event in multiple places, but I’m not going to seriously engage in all of them.

    Basically, I don’t need to find the biggest one that has everything on it or create one mega aggregate, I just need to find the right place for me. Some people seem to want to be plugged into this 1 big nexus of every permutation of a topic, but I don’t see a reason for it.

    If you extend that thinking out to the internet as a whole, you’d need to be part of these forums and this subreddit and this Facebook group and these discords or you’re gonna miss out on something. But most of it is just noise at a certain point.
