This is my ‘Folk and Bluegrass’ playlist on my personal YouTube channel. I curate the playlist, with 263 live music videos at least weekly. It’s one the biggest #playlists of the nineteen I curate on my channel. I’ve collected these #MusicVideos for over a decade, and without being too immodest I think I did a damn good job. You can hit this playlist, sit back and enjoy for hours, days even. Or just keep it on in the background on shuffle. My gift to you. BTW, if you’re not already spending the $18.99/month (USD) for YouTube premium, you’re missing out. I’d get rid of all my other streaming subs, including Netflix & Prime, before I’d part with my #YouTubePremium - Just sayin. #FolkMusic#Bluegrass#Music#Fiddle#Banjo#Guitar#Mandolin
It's not like I didn't know full well that it was gonna happen, but boy howdy is saying any nice thing about Large Internet Company on Mastodon quite the exercise.
I'm just another noodle on the internet - what do I know?
But perhaps if any mention of a mainstream anything invites You're Doing it Wrong and you Should Feel Bad About Your Opinions as responses by default... maybe this place isn't so fun.
I'm not turning #adblock off or stopping using #newpipe and #rss though. Ads are a security and mental health risk and I like controlling my viewing experience instead of an #algorithm.
Ja schade, dann fliegt ihr halt aus dem Feedreader. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Gibt so viel bessere Möglichkeiten Geld zu verdienen, welche Leser:innen nicht belästigen und gefährden. Sowas muss ich mir 2023 echt nicht mehr antun, dafür gibt es einfach zu viele Anbieter.
@kaiserkiwi@Omega Also ich finde die 17,99€ für #YouTubePremium Family auch einen stolzen Preis, der mich manchmal auch überlegen lässt, etwas zu ändern. Aber welche Alternativen gibts denn? Twitch ist in meinen Augen auch nicht besser. Im #Fediverse gibts zwar Peertube, aber das ist noch nicht so verbreitet. Die Betreiber haben auch kosten und werden auch irgendwann um Geld bitten. Und es ist nichts umsonst. Da wo es kostenlos ist, zahlst Du mit deinen (1/2)
@arstechnica received the email yesterday. My wife and I are both affected by this as we each have #Pixel6 phones with the #pixelpass plan on #fi
Suppose it was a decent deal if Google kills it off before a full term.
Only used it for the #youtubepremium and #googleplaypass subscriptions, and I think it was still cheaper than buying the phone and those plans piecemeal. IIRC.
Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month: The price of an individual YouTube Premium subscription is increasing by $2 to $13.99 per month in the US for new and current customers. https://9to5google.com/2023/07/19/youtube-premium-price-increase/
YouTube Premium is jumping up in price, from $14.99 to $22.99/mo, with not even a modicum of effort to toss in some extra "value" to justify the raise. A ridiculous, blind cash grab, but they know the current incarnation of YouTube ads make it unpalatable to stop subscribing. Talk about a rock and a hard place 😩
