    I don’t pay for YouTube Premium because (a) I can already block ads and (b) YouTube doesn’t offer what I would pay for, which is a no-log, no-profiling policy. As it is, paying just means that YouTube can link my financial details to my profile.

    I do pay for Kagi.

    I’d be willing to pay for something like YouTube Premium if someone could make something like YouTube Premium, adopted a no-log, no-profile policy, and charged $15/month or something like that. I’m not sure how many people would be willing to do that, though. And there are other challenges:

    • I don’t know if a privacy-oriented commercial streaming service is what the people who are working on PeerTube actually want to make.

    • I think that it will be difficult, though not impossible, to build the kind of content and userbase that YouTube has – it has network effect, which favors large incumbents.

      Surely wouldn’t co-opting the paying Nebula user base help PT fight the network effect though? The users would probably leak over to the other, free PT channels too.
