  Sadly a lot of content is only on YouTube, and you only live once.

    It’s only on YouTube because people only upload it there.

      People do upload to other sites, especially when YouTube won’t host it, but sadly sometimes it’s banned for a good reason.

        I hope either Grayjay will take off or something like it will, because lowering the barrier to getting users to switch platforms is ideal.

        I wish more people used Peertube, but the monetization issue needs to be “solved” somehow.

      Cody Doctorow talks about this. I won’t quote the link because the whole text is basically that, why people stick to hostile platforms.

        I really don’t need it explained. I know why they do it.

  The lesson is never trust any corporation ever. A lot of people fell for their schtick and feel stuck now. The cohort of users on this fediverse platform are gonna trend towards more anti-corporate and more tech savvy. The best thing we can be right now is gracious towards those realizing a titch too late how fucked everything is
