I have a little app recommendation. It's called Grayjay and is supposed to be more or less a multimedia subscription hub put together by Louis Rossman (the right to repair guy) or tbp his team.
The idea behind the app is, that you subscribe to people independent of the respective platforms. You get all your spotify, soundcloud, youtube, rumble or odysee subscriptions in one place.
Interestingly enough, I am watching a video from YT in the Grayjay app on my phone in background with no ads without having to have any adblocker, premium or even an account.
In the future there may be better solutions, possibly nostr based, but right now I believe this is a good step forward that can help break platform dependence of creators thus making it easier for them to eventually switch over to any foss and/or decentralized solution.
Right now the grayjay app is in it's early alpha, so it's missing a lot of features, some things feel really clunky and all that, but that should get better soon. Meanwhile I believe it's important to show up, give it a try and help out at least by providing feedback and helping the numbers grow.
