After yet another crackdown on ad-blockers, YouTube users are noticing videos that load slowly and direct them to a support page about turning off ad-blocking extensions.

    If you are a content creator please consider upload your content on other video platforms too.

      The trouble with that is that there is barely any money outside of YouTube.

        They can upload to multiple platforms at once and still keep their YouTube money + grow an audience on a different website??

          Yeah, some of the Linux Youtubers do that. With a channel on Peertube as well. And Science Youtubers often advertise Nebula.

        I read somewhere that nebula was paying a good bit more per view, and paid per minute watched

          Pretty sure you still have to be invited to join nebula.

          If it forces you to pay and have an account, how is it better than YT?

            It’s basically netflix not youtube.

              Then it’s not an alternative

              If it pays “a good bit more per view” than YouTube when basically no one on YT pays and many users have adblockers, someone is getting ripped off here

        That’s because of missing views though mostly, no? The ad revenue isn’t big anyways I think.
