I found my self in the last few years to be an avid YouTube content consumer and I can say that yes, the premium is worth it because most of the content I consume is on the TV and I have not found an easy way to do it otherwise. I could go the piped tube route but I’ve got kids and its the only reliable way I’ve found to shield them from ads and have some kind of control to what they access etc (parental control have become really good in recent years). Sure, It’s not perfect but it’s one of the only 3 subscription I pay for (again, for the kids convenience more than anything).
I wish all good content creators migrated to nebula or other similar platforms but that doesn’t look like it’ll happen anytime soon.
I wish a YouTube-like fediverse would take hold and prosper but YouTube has huge momentum for the time being and, at the end of the day, servers and their operating costs are not nothing.
It’s an unpopular opinion but it is valid.
So hopefully itv will make a show about every miscarriage of justice to right the system’s wrongs. I’m glad this is now taking place but I’m fuming it took an itv drama to get the ball rolling. The private eye has been on this saga for years.
Check out Twingate. It’s super easy and with granular controls.
