Could you imagine 20 different brands of Coke on the shelf?

Yes because that’s exactly how it is in Germany. Coke isn’t a trademark. CokaCola is.

I don’t like Meta, but this is fucking ridiculous. You can’t just trademark a word.

It’s not illegal if you don’t get caught

You can’t search multiple platforms at once with newpipe. This is a bigger thing that you think.

Also it has recommendations

That’s basically what it is

No. At least not yet

It also has that. You can login with google

You don’t even need to subscribe and get recommendations

It’s actually the lables that are ripping off the artists.

Spotify isn’t profitable. They’re constantly losing money

As long as you aren’t a journalist, that’s not really a problem.

In most cases…

Most people want a great discovering experience and viewing experience and a good looking and smooth UI.

Odysee feels laggy as hell.

But most people aren’t you.

basically

I can’t remember the last time I saw gore

Well that sucks

You see: the difference between us is that you see YouTube Music as an extra. I see the other features as an extra since I only really use YouTube music.

Sure, it sucked about 2 years ago but it has become really good in the last few months.

If you don’t use Spotify and use YouTube a lot, YouTube premium is worth it.

In Germany it’s 17,99€ for family

I haven’t seen graphic images in… basically forever. It’s been at least half a year

You’ve never uploaded a video to YouTube have you? Their creator tools are actually incredible and their stats are a good way to tune their videos. Of course you shouldn’t completely rely on them.

Also it isn’t just the content. I rather use YouTube over Odysse, even if it’s the same content. It’s such a better experience, especially on mobile. Odysee is on the level YouTube was 10 years ago.

Also making a free video streaming site isn’t really profitable. I don’t know if YouTube still isn’t profitable, but I’ve read reports from 2015 that it still wasn’t profitable.

It makes sense that they now try to push things that make them money. They wouldn’t push ads so hard if they weren’t desperate.

Not necessarily true. They are mostly advertised as “music videos” or something like this. If YouTube would know it’s porn or even CP, they wouldn’t serve the ads and block the account.

There are other factors that also play a role like location or age.

Imagine if a newspaper could block you from reading an article because you didn’t spend enough time looking at the ads.

They do that though. Most even require you to accept their cookies, pay or not be able to read the article at all.

I actually think YouTube premium is worth its price. Spotify is the same price, but you get less.
