Turn off the ad blocker or you’ll be cut off after three videos.

      Peertube exists, but it will probably never replace YouTube for even 1% of its’ users.

      Unlike Twitter and Reddit, YouTube actually pays its’ content creators. Without the ad money, it won’t be worth it for many.

    YT premium has been the most worth it investment for me. especially if you’re able to change location using a VPN and getting it for $1.50 a month.
