True, these are the challenges of freeware, ads are required unless you pay or become a pirate.

Youtubers/social media now mostly have promotions within videos, so we went back to how cable functions.

Thoughts on Social media/Rumble/twitter and other video platforms will evolve over time?

I think Alphabet (Google) will keep doing things that make people leave there other platforms, youtube will take a while so changes will be more gradual.

As a small note, in an unexpected turn of events, that “sponsor block” extension popped up also blocking promotions, I find it incredibly amazing that blocking ads can even go that further

I can’t put my finger on it, but somehow I feel like youtube is irreplaceable, I don’t say this out of some internet patriotism, I just think the initial momentum of inertia really has to be massive to make it budge, while with fediverse-stuff you can gradually generate content and maybe some people will be attracted (?)

And twitter’s trajectory is to fucking weird and unpredictable right now that I just have no clue 🙃🙃🙃

  Everything is replaceable. Nothing should live forever.

  Awesome, I did not know blocking sponsers was a thing, wow.
  
  Yes, you are right, youtube will be harder to leave for people, but Tiktok/twitter/etc. are grabbing the attention away from yt.
  
  They all are trying to keep you on their platform as much as possible, for ads and data collection.
  
  The new big thing may be bettet at that…?
  
  Thanks for your input!

    TikTok is definitely hitting for certain demographics, but YouTube is still king in the long form department and I don’t see that changing unless they completely alienate their watchers and creators or someone comes along and offers significantly more money (to creators).
