I use FB because my family is on their.

My feed is almost entirely not my family, but "suggested" posts, and it made me realize I really hope something becomes popular to replace FB next and my family moves there.

What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the fediverse next?

They are escalating n paying customers too...

Imagine paying 15 bucks for something having their shit shoved up your ass without consent, audio is compressed junk. They turn off 4k randomly etc...

They don't pay for any content really either just serving ads to plebs and booking profits... How are they not making money?

Honestly, the only thing about YouTube that pisses me off as a paying subscriber is that even though I pay for no ads...every fucking video has at least one "sponsor call-out" (aka: ad) that I have to manually skip.

Nah but see, that directly supports the creator making the content you’re watching.. It’s annoying, yes, but at least you can skip over it immediately instead of having forced ads shoved in your face so Google can make an extra buck

Doesn't help my TV- and Phone-based watching.
