I want I like Kbin, and in time I think I will, but the UX is a little too unfinished right now. I’ll keep checking in on it and I’m excited to see two things that conceivably offer a similar experience to Reddit gaining traction. Big-up the fediverse!
While I don’t disagree, YouTube won’t care. Currently folk like you and I who evade their ads are freeloading. We get all the content and YouTube gets nothing in return. Having those who block ads abandon watching doesn’t lose YouTube anything, and maybe saves them a little bandwidth bill I guess?
