YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy
-
I hated Google far before it was cool. I would feel vindicated if it weren't so damn overdue. They don't even contribute meaningfully to society. And I mean that about EVERYTHING
Gmail is lame, their search engine sucks, chrome wastes resources, their ads platform ruined the internet, Golang fundamentally sucks, the emulation layer of android is so fucking wasteful, Material Design ruined digital creativity, etc.
Google search feels like it has stopped being the magic it was. Now whenever I search for something I might not find it underneath all the stuff on sale. For the first time in I don't know how many years I've been finding myself using something else like Duck Duck Go.

The AI nonsense, the flawed ranking and the pages of sponsored links. Honestly, Google is just straight up useless.

Why even bother with a hate speech policy?
Oh, right, money. -

I used to use Google shopping to find certain items and compare websites. Now the entire left side that used to be a filter list is replaced. When you click a "filter" option it just adds text to the search bar. Then it will include an essay about why these are your options for something and recommend top brands, but then just list everything.

Everyone should check out PeerTube sometime, the UX has improved a lot and there's a decent amount of content too. I recommend installing the PeerTube Companion app. It shows a popup on YouTube if you've clicked on a video that is also available on PeerTube.

"Don't Be Evil"
(I know this hasn't been the Google motto in years -- when it stopped was one of the biggest corporate red flags)
„Be evil, break people“ is the current motto of silicon valley.

youtube has enshittified for a while, they went downhill as soon as they announced that they no longer backed election denial reports. then all the right wing, anti-woke videos started popping up all over the place, plus the one that try to seem like its both sides videos too.

The closest, at least outside of China, would be Dailymotion.
feel like thats specific to pirated media. i remember i watch pirated shows on there all the time.

Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don't like.
You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they're allowed to share with others.
You are going to grasp at whatever straw you can to get rid of people saying things you don't like.
no, when you obviously spouting misinformation its within peoples rights not to give you time of thier day. and thats why you would be banned in reddit surely as here eventually for the right reasons.

And people judged me for watching YouTube with uBlock Origin, or via NewPipe for eons.
Look who's laughing now.
youtube is too infested with ads, to make me disable ublock origin for my favorite channels. in anycase most of the channels become greedy pos overtime anyways. outside of pet one/animals/stem ones, ones that are just gossip or reaction or like mr beasts videos are no good.

Oh, right, money.strange, they have allowed it ont he channel for quite a while, alot of the videos were mostly directed at transpeople in the form of anti-woke videos. like that channel where it had 20 magats arguing vs 1 "liberal".
right wing drives viewers to grifters, and those have ads which benefits youtube.

"As many people as possible" not the usual household.
Even most people hosting at home, which is already an incredibly small bubble, have only the default upload of something like 40Mbit which is more than plenty for internet usage and thus the only thing most providers supply, since people favour download speeds.
You usually have to specifically order increased uploads speed, which not enough people do to build something that could serve as an alternative to youtube -

There's some justification as the ads are the source of the money that goes to the producers of the videos.
But that's not happening

You think chrome is bad? You should try the GCP console, 2 tabs were using 15GB RAM.

I have watch history disabled
Funny think about that.
I also had it disabled, started watching a longer(ish) video, closed the video and enabled history and somehow YouTube knew how much I already watched before history was on.
So my guess is that history off is only for the user, YouTube knows anyway, it just pretends not to store it

I subscribe to a lot of full time "content creators" that are ad supported and supported via donations.
I curate my feed meticulously to avoid slop, and I get a lot of value, learning and entertainment from those I follow.
I believe they deserve to be paid for the tremendous amount of work they put in.
Some sort of ability to generate a livable wage from creating high quality content seems reasonable, no?
You can pay them. They can choose to require it. Nobody needs to pay a fucking gestapo in between

Also right wingers are dumb as hell and don’t use adblock.
-
I have it disabled too and most of my recommendations are the same. I have seen those same exact videos recommended and you can't block them on the YouTube app. Default YouTube for anyone without defined history is constantly pushing these videos.
It depends on area and trackers. They have a bias but you are also a valid target
