Youtube IS humanity's main archive for online video content. If this is a good thing or not is up to each one's interpretation. I've been using this platform since very close to its inception.That being said, the way some things have been run is concerning, here are some examples:- (subjective oppinion) Censorship, specially during the covid era was taken too far.- YouTubers often stuggle with video takedowns, monetization removals & dmca's for often trivial reasons, and with an aparent lack of care and sufficient non automatized attention by youtube's staff.- The free plan add situation has become much more agressive in recent years, you can get up to 3 ads (maybe even more?) before a video starts, and depending on the video you'll get even more throughout its duration. The alternative, which is paying a 14 eur monthly subscription for Youtube Premium just doesn't cut it in my opinion, that ascends to 168 eur yearly 😨.
