My issue is there is no alternative. I dont want to stop watching or hurt particular creators (not that one person would make much difference, but I enjoy their content) and Youtube is the only option. Even supporting them on Patreon the videos they share are still hosted on youtube... what am I to do about that? For a few (LTT for example has Floatplane) there are alternatives, but there is no app for it to allow me to cast to the TV... so either way I am screwed. The world desperately needs a YouTube competitor. I would be quite happy with a service like Floatplane where I can pick which creators to support, so long as there is a sort of 'preview tier' to help discover new creators which is add based and maybe even time limited.
