Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
xthexder@l.sw0.com 1 month agoI don’t really think Stockholm syndrome applies here. I don’t watch YouTube out of some irrational bond with the platform. I watch YouTube because it’s literally the only place the creators I watch upload. I would absolutely follow the creators I watch to whatever platform the content is available on. Until then, I’m stuck with YouTube and ad blocking extensions.

I’m not saying it’s exactly the same. But there are definite people that whine all day and night about it, and then go pacify them levels by watching more YouTube videos.
If I hate something as much as people seem to hate YouTube, I stop using it. I’m certainly not going to financially support them by patronizing their service. And this futile attempt to circumvent their add service was is only making them more clever about blocking people from doing so.
YouTube will always win this.
Period. End of story.
The only way to beat them is to not play. I guarantee you if the lose 50% of their viewers. They’ll change their tune.
