Not that easy not to use the services of the big tech companies, is it? I don't get why you would even give them extra money if their main profit is selling your data anyways. The only solution I see is to try to establish independent, people owned spaces/websites and so long the majority is under control of the big tech, don't feed them your data and don't feed them any money either.

I also want people-owned website to take off, but as of right now there is little incentive for people to host their videos on their own when YouTube does it for free and gets you a huge audience.

For now, I have to choose between participating in the adblocker cat-and-mouse game, or just getting my Turkish "friend" to purchase YT Premium and being done with it.
