    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?

                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.

                  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.

                    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.

                    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.

                        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.

                                  While I hate Google, this seems like one of those much ados over nothing. They specifically mention 'sex, gender, or sexual orientation', which to most reasonable people would cover gender identity.

                                    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're correct but the "He has a plan" one is from Money & Macro, a leftist (Marxist-friendly) economics channel. He's trying to explain the broader strategy behind the tariffs, which (from skimming the video) seems similar to a theory Yanis Varoufakis had as well. I think it's much simpler than that though... I think they're just a sloppy way to appear tough on the world stage while crashing the economy so the ultrarich can pick up the pieces, but that's just me.

                                    Anyway you're correct about the rest I think.

                                          I also don't use any other Google services or products and DNS block trackers. And ip hidden too. I have never once watched any of those anti woke videos.
