Personally I think it's time to just move on you tube is done.
But if it's roku they can add the playlet channel. Youtube without ads.
the only real alternatives to youtube for me are probably curiousity stream and floatplane, both of which cost subscriptions i can't afford at the moment.
edit also Nebula! forgot about that one.
With Linus? You couldn't pay me to watch that.
Edit: I did grab a subscription to Nebula for a year for €25 because I like someone on there. Seemed reasonable for a whole year of everything they have, and I do like watching Legal Eagle these days.
It's run by Luke technically, but yeah it's under Linus Media Group. A lot of creators I like (such as Wade from Dank Pods) are on there.
I would never give that clown a dime.
