More like just get off my lawn. Constant bitching and moaning about completely optional services and spending a few dollars to use them is getting to me.
Yes, Lemmy is free, yes the Internet is historically free (because of ad driven content), but Christ things actually do cost money folks and services have a right to charge what people are willing to pay.
If you don’t like it… Don’t use YouTube, seek out an alternative, build an alternative, tell your creators you’ll only watch them on PeerTube (which probably won’t work because they want to make money) or floatplane or whatever.
Thats not how it works. Google is a monopoly and nobody can compete against it hence most regulars don’t know about peertube and other alternative. Stop being a corp simp and get out of the bubble you’re living in.
“If you don’t like it , don’t use it” doesn’t apply when there’s no comparable alternative. Read more about how monopoly exploit market and lilttle brain of yours to dominate.

I don’t have anything nice to say to you, so I’m just going to leave it at that.
