Another day and another opportunity to say. Stop using youtube. Thankyou, and goodnight.
I refuse to use it.
You guys are missing out
On what?
There is nothing on there that you couldn't find an equivalent of in text form(web or paper) or in the millions of hours of TV and film available on and off the web(both legal and not so legal) or on other platforms like twitch/nebula/peertube/lbry.
Are we really not okay with using YouTube but are okay with using Twitch?
And don't deny that using Peertube amounts to using YouTube
I'm not a fan of either and would advocate everyone not consume large amounts of video content because of how heavy it is from an environmental point of view and move away from corporations from an anticapitalist/freedom point if view.
Let's not kid ourselves though, as shit as twitch is, it does not come close to having the same grip google has on the internet and our lives.
Peertube is a completely different platform, perhaps you're mixing it up with YouTube clients like newpipe or invidious?
