This does not look like it’ll end up well for the consumer… can we please get some company busting going on in this current capitalistic hellscape?
Avast, ya scurvy dog! 'Tis time to set sail!
Gimme a 🏴☠️! Gimme a 🧲! Gimme a 🌊!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Either this option or choose the slightly cheaper but riskier life deprivation option of being a Musk Mars Slave. Hopefully the plan of Susan B. Anthony dollar suicide booths will have been fleshed out and running by then.

I don't actually expect much to change for the consumer end on this one. Comcast had already started moving their content over to Peacock.
Disney already owned 66% of Hulu, and has run Hulu for years.
They merged the engineering teams a few years ago. Honestly, separating Hulu from Disney right now would be way harder than turning them into one streaming service.
Oh no, luxury services that nobody needs at all will make profit because the average consumer will pay for it. Whatever shall we do.
