YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    Yeah, I already have premium to support creators I like to watch because I hat ads. Twitter can just fuck itself, never used it much at all. For Reddit I would have paid for Apollo annually if that was what was required to keep it going, but it’s apparent that making people pay a fair share wasn’t the goal.

      Do the creators get more money if a premium user watches their video?

        Yes, at lest they did, not sure if that’s changing now.
