    Fuck this place

    Are you implying you don’t use YT at all? Or you use it and choose to be unhappy with it?

    Just curious, I often get mad because they need to censor words, but not to the degrees to say 'fuck this place" and move to the other (unborn) alternative.

      The alternatives are there. They don't have the volume of course, but they're very much born...

        Yes they are, some from the very conception of YouTube perhaps, but they are not real alternatives a real alternative would be one where all your subscriptions also upload the same content there, it is totally not YT based and you get the same or similar ecosystem Google provides, I don’t think too many channels fit this.

      Personally I don’t use YouTube the website at all at this point. I’m 100℅ Freetube and yt-dlp/Plex for watching the channels I like.

        That’s fine, still YouTube at its core though.

      I’m not sure of what you mean at the end there.

      I see youtube content. I do not pay for it and they are likely unhappy that I get to use it as they get zero benefit from it.

  Yep. It’s exactly what Facebook did not long ago. It’s just the most open oligarchy you can imagine, just consolidating their interests to push fascism at full throttle.

  Its gonna be interesting, knowing some world cup is gonna happen on US soil as well.

  I assume you mean fascist propaganda over and above the right wing rabbit holes that already exist on YouTube….

  Ugh, this is terrible.

  Well yes. You obviously still can’t say “le dollar bean” without getting nuked from orbit. YouTube is a goodly Christian corporation after all, can’t have such content.
