More people should try out Tubesync. It's a tool you can host yourself that essentially uses yt-dl as a backend and lets you subscribe to channels, and it'll download videos as they come out. Gets you away from the ads and you can archive content you like forever.
Teddit.net is also a good option, as it just mirrors reddit but doesn't give them any money.
I think I'd rather have an optional membership to support the instance with perks or something. Not reddit gold though. Lemmy silver?
Would be cool for the ability to merge similar communities. Idk how that would work but similar /c/s could appear in one "super community".
Works pretty well. Nice and stable. Naturally, it doesn't have anything in terms of profile editing as it's a new app, but it's a nice start.
Also, Lemmy is a great alternative, simply because regardless of the devs political views, literally anyone can fork it on GitHub, make Lemmy2, and link it up with OG Lemmy and Kbin.
Just seems like insecurity. Reddit has some staying power but when the people who do free work don't wanna do free work anymore, it all starts to crumble.
Not even really surprised. And you know, now that this article is live, these companies are going to complain, and stop advertising for like a month, and then silently go back to advertising when everyone forgets.
This doesn't have to do with the topic at hand, but it's just so cool being able to directly reference sites and ways to download on Lemmy, rather than dancing around the topic on Reddit.
