    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.

        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.

          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.

            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.

              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.

                    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.

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

                      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?

                            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.

                              Yeah. You want to misconstrue it as "misinformation" so that you're automatically correct with no discussion involved and you can censor anyone who disagrees with you.

                              I'm going to ignore you now.

                                  "WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE????!!?"

                                  Like fuck off no I wouldn't. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

                                      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

                                      For sure. It was more of a "yes, and" than disagreement. Profit is such a vile incentive, literally why we can't have nice things.

                                        Idk what to tell you man, I was just saying it would be cool if more people made a personal Peertube. Didn't say everyone and their mother needed to make one, just that it would be nice if as many people as possible could make one. Again, I get that it can be hard, or not possible for most people, but if more people could make one, and made one, that would be cool.
