Comment on Indigenous creators are clashing with YouTube’s and Instagram’s sensitive content bans.

And no, there’s no possibility whatsoever that linking to content in the comments will result in any traffic whatsoever, even if you didn’t get banned immediately. That’s not how people use the internet.
Network effect is a massive problem and platforms who leverage network effect need to be held to different standards.

Then do so. Come on. It’s 2024.
Until something is seriously done, being able to at least go elsewhere has to be and is the rational option that is left.

There is no “elsewhere” that is remotely viable. That’s the entire point.
The only rational option is YouTube because there is no path to succeeding anywhere else.

I mean , not with that attitude certainly. And dog that doesn’t bark doesn’t eat.
But if you want to be self-defeatist, you do you. I’d thought half the point you were even here, in a platform that is not GAFAM, was that you weren’t.

That’s not the discussion.
It’s whether the literal only possible way for a small creator to theoretically make successful content should be allowed to control the entirety of video content on the planet with their censorship.
Making content that you want people to watch that can’t go on YouTube is well past irrational. It’s full on delusion. Pretending that they don’t have a monopoly or that literally any class of legal speech they restrict isn’t automatically, in every possible situation, abuse of their monopoly position is nonsense.
There is no attitude capable of making it possible to get videos actually distributed anywhere but YouTube. It cannot be done. You’re better off getting your investment in cash and lighting it on fire.
