Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

I guess I'm part of the ones who took it to the extreme and left reddit for good...

Uh, hey guys… Last day of Apollo I deleted my comment history and my account.

Quite enjoy Lemmy; don’t miss the other place at all.

I've taken a couple of peeks, and we're not missing anything. It's not the same as it used to be even just a couple of months ago. It sucks even more now.

I'm a RiF refugee. Without the app I just didn't see much point continuing with it.

Same here. I'll check in from time to time, or for past results, but not for anything recent. I haven't logged in dince June either.

Same. I don't even remember the passwords to my accounts because they were saved on Reddit is Fun for years. Now I can't even log in anymore.

I don’t have an app to browse Reddit with ever since Apollo got shut down, and haven’t ever logged in through the browser, so I haven’t been there for a while.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/i3_4v54To1U

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I see YouTube is next. Soon we will all be self hosting our video channels

Ad companies only have themselves to blame. Way back when pop-ups were common, I found adblockers, and haven't spent 10 minutes online since without one.

The ad business has been throwing afs down our faces for years. The business owners allowing ads on their sites allowed shady ad companies to have malware/virus, etc which obviously lost the trust of everyone. The rise of ad blockers caused even more ads because the previous ads were no longer generating as much revenue.

Now we're back to having ads everywhere and it's driving business away. No one likes ads, yet they shovel it by the truck loads.

They are to blame.

While I can see federated video channels being a thing, would advertising be possible on it, at least in the same capacity as YouTube? Because from my understanding, a lot of channels are only able to exist the way they do because it's a career for the channel owner. They can make a living off it, and in turn, they can dedicate their full time to the channel, rather than treat it as a hobby.

Would ads be provided by a different service? And wouldn't we see the same thing with Reddit, where the existing community is so big that people are scared to use something that may not reach as many people? With forums, its one thing, but when the aim is to make it big and potentially make a living off of videos, that might discourage people more.

I haven't used reddit on my PC in years so it's always been the on the phone for. I tried their app and it was so bad compared to everything else I just said fuck it.

Same. As far as I was concerned reddit was always a phone app for me, so to speak. I never used it on desktop. If the mobile experience is compromised, that's it for me
