    Seems fair enough, I’ve personally been freeloading for a while. Youtube is irreplacable, so there’s not much we can do.

      I’ve started using Mastodon after the Twitter changes, Lemmy after the Reddit changes, I don’t think any website is irreplaceable

        Twitter and reddit have externally hosted media, so they consist of mostly text which is easy to host. YouTube has a lot more data to deal with, a federated alternative wouldn’t be feasible for literal petabytes of it.
