    This sounds great on paper, but the network effect is the real issue here. I’m not leaving YouTube until the handful of channels I sub to leave YouTube. I left Twitter years before the acquisition because I didn’t use it much, and I left Reddit as soon as I saw the handful of communities I cared about here (I tried it out when Reddit announced the API change and stayed).

    So for me, the last big service is YouTube. I’m excited about Grayjay, which seeks to abstract over platforms so you can use one app for all the content you want. I’m not using it yet, but I do use NewPipe to avoid YouTube’s nonsense.
