    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.

              Peertube is also a thing. Obviously, someone can’t make it on Peertube alone, but lots of folk out there upload to YouTube and to Peertube

      Personally I don’t use YouTube the website at all at this point. I’m 100℅ Freetube and yt-dlp/Plex for watching the channels I like.

        That’s fine, still YouTube at its core though.

      I’m not sure of what you mean at the end there.

      I see youtube content. I do not pay for it and they are likely unhappy that I get to use it as they get zero benefit from it.
