PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
I'm loving Pewdie's redemption arc
That's going to be one long arc though
-
has he stopped "accidentally" naziing?

Let's hope so.
What's next, Open source electric car? Building and living in an Earth Ship?

He was an edgy teenager deep into his 20's.
Valid... but also have to point out he hit big as a celebrity. When you are literally raking in millions of dollars. He was about 21 when he started his channel. and bottom line is, he got views, he got likes, and it turned into real cash. Most of our jobs etc... encourage us to grow up. His job, rewarded him for catering to his base... which of were younger than him.

Waiting for the episode where he finds out who owns YouTube 🫠
The thumbnail has a big ole X over the word youtube. I think he knows

Everyone is a edgy teenager well into their 20s.
As the joke goes, if your 18 your a child, if your 23 your a teenager, if your 29 your 30, if your 34 your late 20s, if your 35 your 35.
Most people in most western worlds don't even get to start being an adult till they are well into their mid 20s, which means they only START growing up at like 24-25.
It takes years to actually mature. Anyone who understand this has never worked a job that has frequent fresh to the workforce people cycling though frequently.
I was about to respond with this, you're still in college in your early 20s. Most of us don't get a four year degree done in actual four years
We got junior devs in their late 20s because they were doing grad school until like 28

I see you didn't make it 40s into the video.

I mean I don't really consider him a deplorable person... He was a dumb edgy teen 15 years ago that happened to strike a cord with the overwhelming amount of dumb edgy teens on youtube, and strike it rich. I haven't paid a ton of attention to him, but from what I saw of his linux and gadget crafting videos, it sounds like he's grown up a fair amount from his days of scream streaming.
he's still swedish though

i don't want to watch pewdiepie, can someone explain what's his beef here
He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.
I disagree. Things seem to get worse when the herds move to them. It’s as if things are good precisely because they aren’t there.

Why would anyone watch a pewdiepie video?

bro, open your mind for a minute. Privacy is for everyone. And we need masses wanting privacy otherwise nothing changes.

Listen, we don't read the article and we don't watch the video before commenting. Maybe we're reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.

I was actually kinda wondering the other day why super large content creators with good cash flow from what they already do, don't ditch Google and Patreon or anything else that takes a cut to be nothing more than a middleman to accessing the content? They don't need to host on the same level as YouTube; they could probably make more money hosting their videos on their own website, where they can control what is free or paid for, and can work directly with advertisers themselves.

I love that entrepreneurial attitude. If an online service is unsatisfactory, just develop your own software from the ground up and provision the infrastructure from your pocket. Car industry sucks? Just build your own car! GPU prices high? Grab a soldering iron and a handful of sand, how hard could it be?
Things are always more complex than they appear. The whole point of services like Youtube and Patreon is to offload that complexity onto the provider in exchange for a fee (or some other form of compensation) from the user. Just look at how many early Lemmy instances have gone offline because of the overwhelming financial or administrative burden. Hate the companies all you like, and by all means look for independent solutions, but don't pretend they offer no value whatsoever.

Just throwing this out there, you can open the video and expand the description and there is a button you can click on to view the transcript of the video and then you can just copy that out into a text editor or read it right there

Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
