Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs

• Typhoon@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  There was a time Youtube videos would only be seen by 11 people. But it grew because people posted videos anyway.

    It grew because it was the only platform that did it.

    If you want views, you have to go where the viewers are. Current alternatives are sorely lacking.

    If you want the smaller platforms to grow, you do need to post there, but ignoring the existing giant won’t get you seen unfortunately. At the very least, you should do both.

      YouTube was not the only platform back then but I agree it dwarfs what is around now

        there were very very very few platforms where you could post and share streaming video online when YouTube was new.

        it was certainly the only free option. the internet was quite young then if you don’t remember.

  In this case, you could upload it to YouTube where it will be taken down and seen by a whole no people

  • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    No no. It’ll still be seen by thousands before it’s taken down.

      Thousands of bots.

  Honestly, at this point people should use Pornhub.

    Honestly? If anyone could make a rival for YouTube it would be a big porn hosting site.

    The infrastructure is already there. Just need to buy another domain and throw money at it.

      I dont think anyone will rival youtube, pornhubs infrastructure is no where near youtubes, like at all.

        I dont think you need to overtake YouTube on day 1. Do you?

    Blocked in 23 states, unless you want to hand over your digital ID.

      Contrary to popular American belief, the USA is not the center of the Universe

      So for what, 100 million people vs 8 billion, it’s a problem.

      I’ll take that.

      no one cares about the plights of those living in backwater stone age dictatorships. the modern world must move forward on its own.

      we Americans have to get used to being left behind and left out of conversations by real adults now.

      I don’t care if anything I’ve ever posted is blocked in 50 states. Americans assume they are the center of the world.

  What’s wrong with that?

  Or Odysee!! A well established platform with decentralised video storage and a FOSS app that lets you browse all videos with relatively fast loading.

  • FauxPseudo@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    And craptastic search and discovery features.

    source

    • thenoirwolfess@lemmynsfw.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, but discovery optimisation algorithms are what got YouTube into the mess it’s in. I’m okay with a more natural, look for what you want style, as opposed to being handed video after video to waste time.

      I wouldn’t know too much about the searching issue. What problems have you noticed?

      • FauxPseudo@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I found that it has zero ability to infer and suggest from what I’m typing. If I typo “mine inch”, easy to do on a phone keyboard, it is completely lost. But YouTube knows that I’m definitely looking for nine inch nails. “Chicken tr” on YouTube knows I’m looking for chicken tractors before I even finish, Odyssey is completely lost and requires me to type the whole thing out. When I’m searching for music it requires me to know exactly what I’m looking for and doesn’t offer much in the way of exploration help.

  That would be great for those 11 people.

  Hey man, the playing-pinball-while-a-cat-interferes peertube community is very close-knit (video.apz.fi).

  I kid, but it’s true that peertube lacks the dopamine hooks and variety that youtube does. It’s much harder to sink hours into watching a bunch of videos that you’ll only half remember by the next day.

  A little ironic that this comment posted on Lemmy (tiny competitor to reddit)

  Viewers go where the content is, yes, but you don’t get content on alternative sites if you don’t post there.

  YouTube in the old days was awesome. Then Google happened to it. When it first started it was quite small.

  Principles matter!
