Yeah, that’s why I’m really curious about how this will play out. I just hope that people will be the ones benefiting from this shitshow and not Youtube.

  YouTube is a for-profit service run by a company. If they can’t make it profitable due to low premium adoption or regulation there will be less freedom to post/view stuff on there. There will be no upside for users.
  
  Everyone should really reevaluate their stance on premium services and the value they get out of them. The time of free is over - even something like lemmy needs funding.
