    Feel free to cross-post the video to some Peertube instance and send us the link!

    Then you don't understand your own point. It sounds like your complaint is about where the video is hosted. Host it elsewhere and that should fix your issue. Is your real problem with the content of the video then?

    Yeah, that's why the suggestion was to host it on Peertube. I really don't understand

    It's almost as if we didn't have any other way to view it.

    Feel free to create a new platform.

    Lemmy barely works and it just shuffles text for a few hundred thousand users. Try creating a 4k video platform for billions without "being a megacorp".

    Yes. The economy is impossible to navigate 100% of the time with your ethics fully intact. There are no perfect answers, only better ones.

    I encourage you and everyone to avoid black-and-white thinking about this, and instead, invite a nuanced approach. Strive to make better decisions, but embrace the fact that perfection is impossible. Compromise doesn't undo your ethical fiber, but do be aware of the consequences of the choices you make.

    Edit: I'm around if anyone wants a deeper convo about this.

    i agree with your sentiment, but misunderstand the 'confusion' (definately wrong word, sorry) about the source being on yt.

    of course one mega corp is going to utilise another mega corps infrastructure. these institutions must back each other, forcing customers to go to their friends store is better (and cheaper) for them in every imaginable sense.

    i guess what the crux of my misunderstanding is why the source even matters. really the source is abc or whatever, so uploading it to peertube or archive.org is better anyway, right?

    idk, let me know if i understood or not.

    Download the video file with yt-dlp and seed a torrent. Upload it to a peertube instance or host your own. Be the change you want to see.

    Does anybody else find it obnoxious when people only point out problems for doomerism circlejerking but do nothing to be part of or spread awareness of the solution?

    I'm not boycotting Disney anymore. What they did was so far beyond the pale, it's definitely deserved it (and I did). But finding a mega corp that has directly defied Trump at all is refreshing and imo should be positively reinforced.

    For the record, I'm giving them less than I did before. But incentives work and we need them to support basic rights.

    Tell me when you find utopia. Until then, shut up and pick the lesser of evil choices that you've always had to choose from anyway.
