Wikipedia, Whirlpool, GiHub are the only big sites I can think of which resisted going commercial. They may still be selling user data though.
Can you think of others?

Sorry, I didn’t read the article. Thanks for picking me up on it.
I just use my Brave browser which avoids ads and doesn’t require login but I see now that FreeTube offers a few customisation features and allows you to import your subscriptions.
And there are privacy benefits too. With Freetube your watch history is stored only on your computer, not YouTube’s servers
Really? I imagine it is free because FreeTube collect data on you.
Isn’t this exactly like the original YouTube?
They get users to provide free content with the impression it is a genuine grassrots community then when the site becomes popular enough they cash in. imdb was like this too.
Not necessarily. It might be because of the crimes in the public groups and channels in Telegram. That makes it no more immune from responsibility than Facebook or Twitter.
See this thread
Signal doesn’t have those.
A Petabyte would be a thousand movies. No cinema has a thousand movies on its program.
Brave browser. No need for plugin.
Steady on, you post here and then get annoyed when someone offers troubleshooting help?
I couldn’t run an internet radio station without it and imagine there are many other similar stations.
In the old days labels used to secretly pay AM Radio stations to play their artists. The rort was called payola.
LogMeIn’s TeamViewer is free for personal use but I have been flagged three times for commercial use even though I barely use it.
Then I have to send an email which seems to be ignored for months until it starts working again.
Seems they do not want personal users, they only want potential customers.
That thread is from 12 years ago so things haven’t gotten worse thankfully.
Doesn’t say if it works when the phone powers itself down due to almost no battery juice remaining.
Would be nice if it used the precious little remaining juice to ping, say, once every 12 hours.
My point was about free apps going commercial (not about selling data).
Give FreeTube time to get bigger.
Open source cannot be commercialized.
Steam is commercial, Firefox received about a million dollars from Google to set it as the default search engine.
