James Read's Code, Containers & Cloud blog

I really like YouTube, and I first remember using it back in 2008 or so. It’s a fantastic platform for getting to new content, even though it’s run in a way that goes against a lot of my personal preferences (lots of tracking, lots of advertising, some questionable policies). For non-paying users, Free YouTube is absolutely invested with ads. It’s basically unusable. Unfortunately I was forced to switch to YouTube premium a while ago because there are several content creators I really like, where their content isn’t posted elsewhere.
