What about the darknet?

How do you even do that?

Are they actually free?
Are we maybe misunderstanding YouTube... A company?

I still have the original Google Play Music All Access intro deal of $7.99/month from 2013.
They contractually can't raise the price on me ever. 12 years so far.

Lol "paying for youtube"

Reddit does if you are in the UK, and reddit marks loads of stuff suited to under 18s as NSFW. News about what Israel is doing in Palestine for example.

following the facebook method.

It's almost impossible for any of those to suceed beyond being niche because its not viable to run against the economics of scale and the practicality of the corporate solutions provided by the Big Techs companies in capitalist countries.

Believe me, I've tried to talk to real people about the dangers of sending data to a single company like Google (Alphabet) or Facebook (Meta) and depending on that for media comsumption, how it can and how it's really used to manipulate public opinion on countries... The fact is that for non-tech and non-privacy minded people (which I'd sure Must be 99.9% of the population) they really don't seem to care, they just wanna a "free" service that they turn on the TV and there are the videos of their "influencers" or YouTube channels to watch, on YouTube I really hate how it shoves ads like there's no tomorrow nowadays every 5 minutes, but I also understand there's a cost to run their business, I, myself, if were to pay for similar service provided without ads I'd pretty sure the YouTube Premium offering would still being a bargain since Google's infractucture and running costs are really optimized.

So yeah, I really don't believe any capitalist country can compete with the Big Techs companies, they are probably deeply rooted into common user behavior in all capitalist country, in the capitalist "democracies" it's impossible to lobby against them in privacy concerns since they can easily sway public opinion in their favor with invisible chances to their content delivery, so anyone trying would have to have a lot of resources to do so (a popular movement without money funding in a capitalist society is basically doomed, theres a very pow chance to suceed imo) and any national alternative, or any actual alternative to their services is almost impossible to suceed since they already have their economy of scale set up with minimal costs and they can also run years on and on with a loss untill any competition does due to being unable to compete with their lower artificial prices.

The article says they take the age of your account into factor. You should read it.

Yeah. I've never been asked but now I wonder if that's why. Haven't heard of anyone with a drinking aged account having to do this.

Cool, if GrayJay could integrate similar functionality that'd be great.

I have Tuta, it's good enough. Lots of storage for the price compared with others.

What do you even do there? I can almost never find anything to watch on PeerTube.

i watch it, but it has to be adblock, otherwise it becomes intolerable.

Exactly. People needs to know Android is not Google
