YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy

Stop using youtube.
wrote 19 days ago last edited byAny suggestions where to go? I mostly watch warhammer painting content such as tutorials for techniques I don’t know and video game content either long form retrospectives to fall asleep or guides for what I am playing. I’ve tried to get off YouTube completely but these specific niches are all that’s left for me.

I mean, I do use YT as cloud storage for free. And before you say the "nothing is free line," note my other replies.
wrote 19 days ago last edited byNope. The admin of sh.itjust.works lets you use their storage for free. Google does not.

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.

list of CEOs that suck?
Isn't that simply called CEO list?

Don't forget current Youtube CEO Neal Mohan and former Youtube CEO Susan Wojcicki!
wrote 19 days ago last edited byDamn we were eating good with Susan, comparitivly speaking anyway.

Peertube is the obvious candidate, but I'm not sold on the content.
I use nebula.tv, many of the creators I like are there too. You pay somerhing, but their business model is not too bad imho.
Floatplane is somewhat similar, but LMG is involved, which I don't love.

Most of them are literally Nazis. Anytime I go to youtube and finish a video all the suggested videos to watch after are obscene "anti-woke" trash.
The youtube to right-wing pipeline is real.

You do you, if you want to read go ahead. You are just entirely missing the point and just assuming we all consume media in a way you preconceived in your "unbroken" brain.

Try harder to not be a fucking hypocrite, dude.

wrote 19 days ago last edited byYep that would be nice! Yunohost can make it pretty easy to install for those of us who self host. Plus this is the fediverse. Totally agree!

I have watch history disabled
wrote 19 days ago last edited byWell, that might be the cause. Kinda scary you get recommendations like that just due to no history.

Agreed.

What international alternatives exist for YouTube? And I understand RedNote as an alternative for TikTok, but YouTube fills a little bit of a different niche.
wrote 19 days ago last edited byThere really isn't one. That's why they feel that they can do whatever they feel like. They have no real competition for the type of service they offer.

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.
wrote 19 days ago last edited byYou might want to look more into how peertube works then.

wrote 19 days ago last edited byI 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.

Reposting my comment another post relating to this situation
I mean this is just them making official how they've been acting for 2 years minimum, as much as google and youtube want to act progressive and inclusive, people still get demonetized for talking about lgbtq or women's issues, unless they are harassing them, in which case the video will stay up no matter how many of youtube's rules it breaks. For example, trans NB game critic Stephanie Sterling had multiple harassment videos against them (they listed pronouns as they/them last I checked, please correct if changed) that are still up right now, several years after upload, despite those videos exclusively attacking them for being trans/non-binary, which breaks youtube's TOS
Companies are not your friend.

There is one thing that is vital that is missing from peertube. Effective monetization.
By watching on peertube I am a drain on resources. A net negative. I'd happily pay to offset those costs and more, but I want it to be shared amongst multiple creators and hosters.
I don't want to just support one, I want to support most of the network for the hosting and bandwidth, and a certain amount divided amongst the creators I watch.
If PeerTube introduces some sort of payment / monetization solution, it might get more creators as well. Without it I can't see it growing fast enough to compete with YouTube in the near future.
Well.. Sooner or later the costs of Full HD compressed video will be negligible for hosting and bandwidth, so that might be when YouTube gets a real challenge. So I guess we'll see

Let me know if you find any of that trash on Nebula.
wrote 19 days ago last edited byYeah, I’m pretty sure that Nebula is all “bread tubers” and left adjacent.

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.
wrote 19 days ago last edited bySounds like you don't need cloud storage then.

So, sundar pinchai can be added to the list of CEOs that suck?
Because a lot of the time, it's weird that when the company does nasty shit, nobody names him as the head asshole in charge the way that other companies and ceos get handled.
The dude has been in the driver's seat for pretty much every major deterioration of Google/alphabet for years.
