YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy

The 'not leaving centralized services' thing isn't really helped when there's basically no other viable alternatives, like is the case with YT. PeerTube exists, sure, but it's a content desert, sadly.
The big problem with PeerTube(PT) is that there is no advertising. As it stands now people are burning money in order to run a PT instance and YouTube(YT) was not at all profitable for many years so it is unlikely that PT ever will be unless people start being willing to pay for people to upload their content to PT. There are ways that you could make PT profitable but it would end up making it into something more similar to Patreon or Nebula.

That is why centralized platforms, especially powerful ones, are sitting ducks waiting to become even more corrupt. Why more people are not leaving centralized services is a crime against humanity as it is clear that supporting theme means society suffers.
It's frightening. Why do people not make an effort to leave Reddit?
How can the same people run a dictatorship of the proletariat? Even democracy, I don't see how society as a whole can avoid being manipulated.

What's wrong with LMG?
They can not keep themselves out of drama for more than 6 months at a time. The whole situation with M left a bad taste in my mouth even though they were found legally clean. All of the other dramas that have occurred that might not be such a big deal on their own, but when they are all coming from one company it starts to paint a picture.

Pichai kissed the ring. He's colluding with the person who tried to overturn the elections and install himself as a ruler.
All of the billionaires that were at the inauguration are in the same boat. I'm at a point where I believe the crimes of any of them should be tried and convicted with the punishments being doled out collectively to all colluders, but that's me.
I'd be going for the death penalty from the prosecution side, since it seems like that is what we do now to people who cause one or more people to die, no matter how unethical the victim(s) were.
I wonder if Tim Cook is there too. It would make sense for him and Apple to resist this at least somehow but...

Those aren't opinions I would care about in the first place. Somebody thinks you should be watching ads? WTF?
There's some justification as the ads are the source of the money that goes to the producers of the videos.

Sadly I couldn't get it to stream reliably though it's been a few months since I unsubscribed.
Interesting, I've never had an issue with the video stream on nebula

Well, that might be the cause. Kinda scary you get recommendations like that just due to no history.
A good portion of the country is batshit insane, I'd be more surprised if I didn't see that represented in the recs

I'm more concerned about "anti-rainbow" capitalism. Like what's happening right now where instead of being performatively progressive they become performatively reactionary. (Well, I suppose that's just reactionary.)
Basically what I mean is I want rainbow capitalism to exist, but in a very specific way: I want rainbow capitalism to be the bare minimum a company has to implement if they want to exist. I want the social circumstances to force them to at least pretend to be on the right side of history.
Honestly, the real problem in rainbow capitalism is the capitalism part.
The point is, is that it doesn't matter. Companies are not true allies, they just do whatever earn them the most money and PR
If it means to become literal Nazis, then they become literal Nazis. And sell the supplies to the gas chambers

On the one hand, less censorship, on the other, something a lot worse.

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.
It's okay. I gotcha so you don't got to ssy it
Spicehoarder told y'all so!

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.
