@jinarched Podcasts are good. I consume quite a few on various subjects inc Paranormal, Music, Video Games etc.
Also, I would rather directly donate or subscribe to a creator I enjoy rather than going through YouTube as a middle entity that only feeds them scraps.
@Flatworm7591 Many people will refuse to pay the high price of YouTube Premium or suffer through multiple pre and midroll adverts. It could lead to many abandoning the platform entirely.
I think the way forward is self or federated hosting. The time of YouTube may finally be coming to a close. @neil
