And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    I’ve degoogled about 8 years ago now. My only service that I still use from them is YouTube, because there is no alternative. Odysee is also becoming more and more corporate, and barely any creators are on PeerTube, and also PeerTube has no monitary incentive for creators to use that platform.

      I’ve found Nebula to be a great substitute for YouTube for me. Even though it’s not all my subscriptions that are on Nebula I’ve found that I’ve reduced my YouTube usage to near zero.

        Same - I actually check Nebula for new videos first now, then NewPipe (YouTube).

        Personally I think the future is probably people supporting content creators (video and written alike) through direct financial contributions, not through ads - unless there’s some kind of major change in how ads work

        I have over 600 subs in YouTube (NewPipe). Not sure I can find even half of the people I watch (which varies from popular to super niche) on any other platforms.
