  • If the people who produce videos don’t stop, there isn’t much of an alternative other than abstinence.

    At which point, what’s the benefit over using a mirror like invidious which gives you your video, uses up resources of the people you don’t like, and doesn’t harvest your data?

    I wouldn’t use the actual YouTube site, or software clients. But open source mirror/alt clients like invidious, yt-dlp, or newpipe seem like a workable alternative.

    Until people who make videos move the fuck over, most of my subscriptions in newpipe will continue to be YouTube accounts, and not channels hosted on a peertube instance.

    Luckily newpipe works with both… For now.

    Its not like google fucking earned that money anyways. You don’t earn billions of dollars.

    Think about it. If you earned a million dollars a year, you’d be set for life. If you lived for a full hundred years you’d have only made 1/10th of a billion dollars. Despite the fact that its still more money than either of us will probably ever see.

    The people who operate google have billions with an s at the end. Think about the hardest working person you’ve known. Think about how little money they made.

    Now ask yourself, what did the people with billions do to earn that money? How hard did they have to work to justify it, and how is that level of work even humanly possible? How would a bunch of spoiled overgrown trustfund fratboys find it in themselves do that work?

    They fucking don’t. The only people who get that rich do it by cheating, and stealing, and fucking people over. Those fuckers owe us a lot more than video streaming services.
