Comment on YouTube and right-wing creators are profiting from anti-trans vitriol

Oh yeah, if there was ever any reason to take their “advertising helps keep YouTube free” shit and tell them to blow it out their ass, it’s the sheer amount of hateful garbage that they let those ads run on.
Just think about the sheer amount of right wing bullshit and “anti-woke” content creators there are nowadays popping out bullshit. Look at all the YouTubers that have just gone full mask off because they found it’s actually profitable.
Go search for X-Men, and look how many videos have come out in the last week that are nothing but commentary on the news about the non-binary character. Appreciate that that level of content is being produced with every headline. This is a machine that YouTube is directly funding.

havent seen ads on YT in years. it’s rather trivial to filter that via browser addons - or just use a 3rd party client like FreeTube

Mentioning clients LibreTube or PipePipe on android tick the boxes for me. Piped.video let me import my subs and gives me my subscription feed back, same login on LibreTube keeps things cross-platform which is nice
After paying for YTP Family for a number of years, their recent price increase was too much to warrant. I was happy paying ~$25 for multiple people but increasing to ~$35 was a massive jump.
