The comments here are more interesting than the article itself. Looks like the real issue was a UX snafu on YouTube's part that support had trouble resolving for too long. Let's hope YouTube does better in the future. However, if you read the comments here, they paint a sinister portrait of YouTube that has nothing to do with Blender's issue. Some examples: - ads are required for big channels (false) - demonetization…
This is because this issue with Blender is just a cherry on top of a multitude of issues with YouTube that have crop up for the past few years. So the thread is about the impact of YouTube algorithms. I have myself found it pretty hard to publish videos without ads on YouTube, even though I have a minuscule channel. Their Content ID system is triggered for almost any background music I throw at it, including Royalty…
PeerTube is awesome and needs more visibility. Coincidentally, they're having a fundraiser right now to be able to ship a 1.0, so if you like the idea of a federated, decentralized YouTube alternative that can also talk to other ActivityPub software like Mastodon etc. consider donating[1]. 1 - https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free...
It’s Typescript on client and server.

It seems like Google is pretty conscious of their own PR, presumably actions like this alert Youtube employees that everything they do isn't in the best interest of humanity.
Google employees work for the worlds largest spyware company. They aren't worried about being ethical.
I think a lot of employees are just not taking a step back to look at the sum of the parts they are helping to build, or maybe they have optimism/trust in their leaders to not fuck everyone over, and others might just draw their line further down the sand (e.g. no Pentagon contracts).
I imagine a brave few are also working to change it for the better from within. I'd definitely choose to work at Apple instead though, Google seems fundamentally creepy these days.

And FLOSS on OsmAnd
I've found that OsmAnd's directions are high quality, but it's UX needs some more TLC. It's something I can use because I found poking around at it somehow enjoyable, but it's not something I can yet recommend to people who aren't peculiar in that sense.
OsmAnd is being developed at a steady pace, and the UX is being improved.

Well, people like you are the reason for why we can't have nice things.
You make it look like they are starving to death there when in fact it's about generating MORE revenue every year despite the costs because this is what Wallstreet expects you to do.
If users refuse to pay for subscriptions and keep blocking ads for reasons that have nothing to do with privacy or security, pretty soon as-blockers will become illegal.
It happened before with DRM, it can always happen again. At which point people will cry out in support of privacy or security, but it will be too late, because the truth is the vast majority don’t care about privacy or security.
So yeah, keep sticking it to the man.

People who reward companies like Alphabet are the reason we don't have nice things.
Out of all possibilities, not paying for a subscription while at the same time blocking their ads, is the worst path you can take.

Blender were asked to sign a monetization agreement. https://torrentfreak.com/youtubes-piracy-filter-blocks-mit-c... "Update 2: Blender’s Ton Roosendaal notes that YouTube wants the organization to sign a monetization agreement."
Side note: PeerTube is part of the same federated network as Mastodon. You can follow Blender's PeerTube account from Mastodon by entering @blender@video.blender.org into the search bar and clicking follow on the result!
