But replacing Youtube is sadly much harder.
I bet we'll just get better ad blockers.
An eternal arms race: Ads vs. Adblockers. Just like malware vs anti-malware protections. System penetration vs. system hardening. It iust entered another stage of technological development, but that doesn't mean it's over or that we need to throw the towel.
While it's true there's no good Lemmy for YouTube (Odysse is the closest..), I feel like a lot of people could drop YouTube without need for any replacement

Google will probably just move to strictly subscription based eventually. Just like you need a subscription to turn on a cars seat heaters now. Everything is going subscription. It's maddening.
