This is just going to be used to allow fascist propaganda, isn't it?

    Fuck this place

    Are you implying you don't use YT at all? Or you use it and choose to be unhappy with it?

    Just curious, I often get mad because they need to censor words, but not to the degrees to say 'fuck this place" and move to the other (unborn) alternative.

    The alternatives are there. They don't have the volume of course, but they're very much born...

    Yes they are, some from the very conception of YouTube perhaps, but they are not real alternatives a real alternative would be one where all your subscriptions also upload the same content there, it is totally not YT based and you get the same or similar ecosystem Google provides, I don't think too many channels fit this.

    I mean, if your requirement for a youtube alternative is that it's as big as YouTube, you're just guaranteeing that there will never be a YouTube alternative...

    Yeah perhaps, we are here on Lemmy after all, which I consider a Reddit alternative, but with YouTube the thing is different because we follow individuals, and here we follow subjects, hopefully somebody can truly stand out against Google in the video field, a movement big enough to motivate content creators to check it out, the last thing I hear was about Odysee, which I think is a step in the right direction.

    Well yes. You obviously still can’t say “le dollar bean” without getting nuked from orbit. YouTube is a goodly Christian corporation after all, can’t have such content.

    Yep. It's exactly what Facebook did not long ago. It's just the most open oligarchy you can imagine, just consolidating their interests to push fascism at full throttle.

    Its gonna be interesting, knowing some world cup is gonna happen on US soil as well.
