Hi Stephanie, I subbed after seeing this anti YouTube piece, which articulates much I feel about it. I’m a fellow exile, a trans woman and just regular consumer who apparently breached some unknown boundary arguing with transphobes after the UK Supreme Court Rowling fiasco in the comments sections of a few creators I followed. (No threats, or bad language. Just a lot of commenting, because I was quite triggered at the time.) Ironically, I had been paying Premium for an ad free YouTube experience, but with no warning or explanation I’ve been permanently kicked from the platform, I can no longer log into it at all, the auto message stating it was because it thought I was a spambot, or posting malicious content. Tried appealing, rejected in 45 seconds by the algorithm and… that’s it. I can never watch YouTube legitimately again. I have found a way, and it is currently ad free, so their loss I guess. But if there was a viable alternative to YouTube, I’d be there in a heartbeat. In the meantime, there’s Patreon, I guess…
