Comment on outube bans 3D print channel after manually reviewing its videos as suitable for monetization [Louis Rossmann explains the censorship]

There are these periodic revolts against Youtube by creators who depend on them for their income due to Youtubes varous bullshit - which I agree with.

But, then they all just STFU and go back to continuing that dependence.

Why have none of these big creators banded to put their weight behind one of the fediverse alternatives? I am not ignorant with regard to the need for bandwidth, storage, and CPU to sustain these services, but I'm also not proposing anyone should just drop their lucrative Youtube situation and jump ship, either.

Get some of the big guys - especially the big tech Youtubers - to put their weight behind one of these alternatives, and I think it could build over time.

But it's not gonna happen until they do, so we just get a few dramatic events a year where everyone gets up in arms about how much Youtube sucks, and then returns to normal.
