And everyone else's. People don't go elsewhere because the creators they like are on YouTube. Speaking as someone with Peertube and Nebula.

    You're asking them to put their livelihood on the line for your privacy. They're gonna choose the thing that pays their bills every time.

    No, what Im saying is a service that is as centralized and pervasive as youtube should not be the ones who determine if you should be allowed to watch a video or not. They are inserting themselves between you and your content creator and assessing your entire identity. They, a for-profit, data-hoarding, facist financier, corporate advertising conglomerate will have collected the very personal details of your entire individual life, and will amass everything they have on you to declare if you are able to watch a 10 minute video.

    THAT is what we should not have. But maybe thats just me.
