YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy
-
Stop using youtube.
If as many people as possible self host their own peertube, even for just your own videos, it wouldn't replace youtube completely, but it would be a giant leap in the right direction.
-
Hosts and users who want their stuff available to their audience without YouTube's bullshit.
-
I don't think that's true.
It's my understanding that by federating, you are duplicating the data from the servers you federate with on your own.
The server itself has the option to turn that off or on. And most dont turn that on. Its off by default.

How about the blind and dyslexic
Last I checked braille exists and so do tools for dyslexic readers. There are literally braille terminals for the blind. Hell, the first time I saw one was in the film Sneakers in 1992.
It's actually very easily argued that the push to touch-screen and video everything is what is actually ableist and making braille be used far less because companies are more worried about what's cheap than what is actually useful.
Don't be disingenuous.

Same people that pay for lemmy. Us.
It doesn't take much to host peertube TBH. And with each peertube instance, the videos get easier to host. It scales very well with the current iteration of software.
The two biggest issues are actually not software related:
- A platform is only as good as its users (creators and users who interact). Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.
- Its not profitable for creators UNLESS they add a way to monetize. Some argue that with secondary sources such as patreon, its not an issue, But I just don't see it.
Im pretty happy with what it does NOW. I like the ability to post my videos and get comments without getting flagged for whatever on Youtube. I like my friends and family (and sometimes us weirdos) looking at my videos. And I like the slow trickle of people hosting their videos on say makertube, peertube.wtf, and other such platforms. They seem like really fun individuals and im having a blast.
The two biggest issues are actually not software related
I disagree, the biggest issues are related to discoverability, and most certainly software-related.
Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.
Not necessarily. They only need to agree to allow an instance to mirror their content, and possibly one day contribute something to it in the event that it becomes popular enough. For now, consent is really all that's required. The only revenue they're missing out on is AdSense.

Patreon is one of many different ways to generate revenue. Most popular Youtubers are diversifying in various ways. The most effective of which is creating their own products and using their channels to promote them. Affiliate links/codes is another way smaller creators can diversify.

As always, with freedom comes abuse. Youtube has a lot of regulations that can be cumbersome but also can protect creators and users.

What other platform can I use as cloud storage for video files for free?
If it's free, you are the product (ad views), not the consumer (ad sales). Suck it up and pay for hard drives.
I have many hard drives, and none of the videos are monetized or even publically listed. As I said, it's my cloud storage, my offsite backup.
-
Store on a hard drive instead.
They are all stored on local hdds, in fact I have two copies locally. I said it's my cloud storage, my backup off site.
-
Don't be disingenuous.
Yeah, that's some projection. You weren't being disingenuous to pretend that videos are more helpful to the blind than braille? Get a grip.

Fuck rainbow capitalism

And I'm saying you're not paying for it, and that's the problem. Everyone got way too comfortable with getting "free" shit from corporations that would trample our rights the second it became convenient for them.
-
Let me know if you find any of that trash on Nebula.
Yeah, exactly. This argument about YouTube isn't relevant to Nebula.
-
User experience can be improved pretty easily.
The important parts are already there.
Easier said than done. Reason after all these years it still hasn't been addressed.
-
Maybe people could read more?
Nobody needs this endless "content" slop.
For real people need to get a grip if they can't survive without it. They're addicted.
There's an incredible amount of educational and fun content on YouTube, just because you watch slop and it's associated recommendations, doesn't mean I or others do.
-
The people who set up the instances usually also are responsible for paying to keep them active.
but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.
I mean, they're already there. Have you tried using Peertube?
They are already there, and someone is paying for the storage and bandwidth for what's already there. Asking for random people to start pulling videos from YouTube and uploading them to someone else's server is going to very quickly make that server go away.
And yes, I have tried Peertube. My experience is when I click a Peertube link from Lemmy, 9/10 it is a dead link.

Yeah and it turns out that this isn’t working well. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 Video is an unsolved problem, it’s great people are working on it but we aren’t there yet. PeerTube is not a viable YouTube alternative.

Try again to make yourself feel okay about heavily using a service that is happily allowing hate speech against gender identity. I don't have any subscriptions and I rarely watch youtube because I can fucking read.

We really should be working together to upload content from youtube to peertube instances.
Don't ask for permission. Just do it. Civilly disobey.
I dont think its ok to just rip peoples content without their permission.
