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

  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.

      It’s certainly and obviously not, but:

      • YT is not anywhere near the “literal only possible way”. Heck, air TV still exists!
      • even tho it isn’t, I don’t see you nor anyone acting to that extent, instead you go on a self-defeatist-for-everyone attitude.

      Does Youtube have a monopoly and network effect? Sure, absolutely, and someone’s gotta correct that. But it’s not a complete monopoly in the sense of “if you don’t eat you die”. If the main supermarket in the area doesn’t like me because “boobs” or something, I can still go to a minimarket.

      …Look, you really get tiresome. I’d ask if you are fine but honestly you are not my problem. If you need serotonin or something, get you seen; don’t try to drain mine.
