  • I used to be in the same boat as OP, but since trying to degoogle I (obvioisly) stopped buying Premium and instead buy into Patreon of select creators. If there was some sort of degoogled Youtube Premium that would go towards support of people I watch, I’d much rather opt for that (obviously a very theoretical proposition) - I can support only so many via Patreon, even if all would have a 1$ tier.

    Of course, when buying Premium part of my motivation was my comfort. It was comfortable support via Premium or uncomfortable support via ads. Patreon is fine but you can’t feasibly pay for one for every creator who’s video you watched

    Like is a strong word I think. I don’t mind him. But I was a kid when Phantom Menace came out, I didn’t really fully experience the original trilogy before I saw it. So that’s why - for a kid it’s a fun goofy comic relief. So might have liked him back then, which moved my tolerance for him in adulthood. Didn’t see the movie in years though.

    LotR is sacred to me on a similar level like the SW original trilogy was sacred to the die hard SW fans back then, probably. I can’t say I hated the Hobbit movies (though they are clearly inferior - the edit really saved them), but I hate Alfrid with everlasting passion.
