  So you could be using and supporting alternate platforms, but YouTube is so valuable to you that you don't bother.

    Who said I don’t? Why can’t I use both?

    You’re trying to fabricate a point here, and I just don’t think it fits me

      I don't believe you do because you would've linked to it instead of YouTube.

      You're getting on a moral high horse about how it's fair and right to pirate from YouTube because of their bad behavior, yet when given a free alternative platform to view the videos from a creator you respect enough to link, you don't. You go to YouTube.

      Let's give an example:

      I think you underestimate how much pirates and the opposition truly hate google and their practices and the lengths they will go to in order to get the content they want.

      Apparently not very hard at all, since there was a Google-free way to get the content you want that you didn't even attempt to pursue.

        I Square peg doesn’t fit the round hole.

        1. I linked the video out of my application, which links google. Further, less people would reach his content if I posted an invidious, piped, etc link if they aren’t familiar (and my target audience isn’t people using these services, so obviously I would choose the option that would get my target audiences attention best)

        2. I don’t represent that entire community, as much as you’d like to repaint me into a group. I’m an individual who shares some things in common with masses, and other things are unique to me.

        3. Moral high ground? It’s fucking simple. Give me quality service for what I pay, or I go elsewhere.

        I’m done arguing with you about MY OWN viewpoint which I think everyone else very clearly understands.

        Talk about being on a high horse LMAO the irony.
