I realised a lot of my yt usage was for having something playing in the background. I've been listening to more podcasts and audiobooks instead and it's been pretty easy to cut back.
I wish the creators would move. Vlogbrothers, MVG, MrSundayMovies
Move where? Vimeo?
Vimeo lays off ‘large portion’ of staff after Bending Spoons buyout
Streamers host video, nebula spotify.
There has to be opportunity to push into new platforms
I do like Nebula, but I don't see that scaling up in that way.
And Spotify is basically YouTube, I don't necessarily want to see them succeed either.
Most creators I watch could be podcasts. I dont get ads anyway so its all the one
More options in the videohosting space would good.
Libby,libraries have lots of things....for now
I like Hoopla because of the name, but same thing.
