I actually paid for Reddit Premium about as long as I remember it being around. I cancelled the instant they announced the intent to paywall and censor the API.
I’m generally fine with paying for services I use and enjoy, if I consider the price reasonable. I spent a lot of time on Reddit and considered it reasonable for avoiding ads.
They’ll never see a cent from me again, not from ad revenue or otherwise. I blocked Reddit’s URLs on my PiHole just to be sure.
I subscribed to Youtube Premium because of how much I actually use it in my day to day life.
It’s the only regular subscription I have, only because I use it across multiple platforms and away from home.
But the price hike they just announced is unjustified, especially when they KEEP TAKING DOWN MY FAVORITE CREATORS VIDEOS. Poor Speedo and David Firth.

Thanks, I didn’t know YT Vanced was being continued
UYouPlus + AltStore exists for apple users as a Vanced like app too. Works without a jailbreak as well.
Though it is a bit of a mess around because apple.
Where can I find a list of all Reddit URLs? I’m hosts blocking them on my laptop (since I also use it outside my home network).
if you block reddit.com and redd.it
you’ll be fiine
I love that Unlock Origin shows “0” instead of “146” blocked domains while scrolling Lemmy as opposed to Reddit
Ngl: I’d pay or even enter a subscription payment to keep it that way.
It’s absurd, and yet in a capitalistic way totally logical, that companies do not offer total ad-free and tracking-free experiences to their paying customers.
I’ve said about YouTubers if they made their own/joined a Peertube instance. At least I know the money wouldn’t be going to money hungry CEO’s, but directly to running their server or supporting them in SOME significant way
Isn’t that kind of like what Nebula and Curiosity Stream are?
I think curiosity stream is a bit different, but nebula and float plane are both creator run and owned and as far as I’m aware both are good to the people making content for them.
