  How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?

    Just downloaded it and skimmed by frames… Seems to be a list of reasons to degoogle. Mentions privacy, security, and how Google is extending fingers into everyone’s privacy by browser, password manager, wallet, phone, etc.

      Guy’s an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.

  Download the video before YouTube takes it down. I want to see that site flooded with reupload if they do.

    It will stay up. Do you know how many YouTube videos there are badmouthing Google? They don’t care so long as you’re watching them.

    I don’t care about his content, but I downloaded for historical preservation. If you’re willing to watch can you explain the beef?

      I just use down sub to pull the transcript from his video It’s only 60% as annoying.

      He has the normal privacy versus cost worries which are reasonably valid. Then he rambles on, plugs a product that he’s shilling that’s unrelated to the subject matter, says he’s replacing Google search with a local LLM, does some hot takes on alternatives, does some reasonable takes on some alternatives.

      To be honest, this is probably the least helpful de-googling video I’ve seen, other than the fact that he’s a major influencer and is telling everyone they should be doing it.

    Upload it to Framatube and other YouTube Alternatives

    If it stays up, it’s certainly going to be interesting seeing the difference in view counts between it and his other videos.

  I was actually kinda wondering the other day why super large content creators with good cash flow from what they already do, don’t ditch Google and Patreon or anything else that takes a cut to he nothing more than a middleman to accessing the content? They don’t need to host on the same level as YouTube; they could probably make more money hosting their videos on their own website, where they can control what is free or paid for, and can work directly with advertisers themselves.

    And how do they get big? How do they get discovered? SEO ?

    They’re getting huge because of the platform.

    I’m not saying google is not evil but it literally gives them their audience.

    I watch YT more than anything else by a mile, and if my top subscription moved to their website, and I had to jump through hoops to watch them on my TV device, by installing a browser or something I probably would stop watching them. Another TV friendly app sure that wouldn’t be a problem, but I don’t see many doing that.

      I’m talking about those who have already gotten big, like PewDiePie. Not the dude who just started a channel last week and has nothing to do shit with.

    They have. Nebula is one platform, floatplane is another.

    Streaming video is expensive. LTT did it with Floatplane, even going so far as to develop their own backend. Watcher and some other YouTubers did it with Vimeo as their backend, but Vimeo still takes a large cut.

    At the end of the day, people are doing this, but YouTube still offers a compelling value compared to other platforms. It’s hard to beat their scale, sophistication, and the discoverability of their platform.

    Putting a video file somewhere and letting 10,000 people watch it at the same time is no small feat.

    You could probably get away with doing it on peer tube but it has no facilities to lock people out or make them pay.

    Even if you don’t use patreon for payments payments aren’t free.

    Well, there is Nebula, which is kinda like that. But most of them also put their videos on YouTube, using Nebula as the premium ad-free option with a little bonus content.

    It’s harder then you think.

  That’s very cool indeed, although I dread the moment he starts talking to his followers about Lemmy.

    It would be a larger influx of bullshit than even Reddit was able to pull off.

      I mean, I don’t know of him now… he’s way older and, seems significantly less immature than he was in the past, it’s possible a good portion of his fanbase has also grown to be more tolerable.

  This wound up being a much better watch than I thought.
