Just another Monday for me by now... Have had to put so many once-beloved channels out to pasture. I really love YouTube for what it was (and still mostly is), making entertainment content something more personal than traditional TV... but it's changing. And change isn't inherently bad.
I will say that I'm having a harder time nowadays finding new content on YT that measures up. Just started a trial for Curiosity Stream today, and there are other platforms, too.
Good creators should be paid for their work, hence why I subscribe to Nebula and watch YT with ads (although there are so many I'll be pushed back to Nebula, and I won't get YT premium on principle).
