    What a weird downslope of a take that will obviously result in authoritarian government power expansion and futher censorship.

    Just stop using it and support alternatives that dont do it. Have some self control.

      Do you think regulations are just blanket authoritarian actions. Sometimes we need government intervention to ensure and protect people’s rights.

      People always say shit like this as if people don’t have a multitude of different life circumstances that affect and coerce how they interact with technology. That’s just how capitalism works. It’s not a matter of willpower. Privacy Bootstraps Theory is unhelpful. Being able to completely opt out of entrenched tech monopolies is a privilege. It’s great that you can do that, not everybody can.

      Name a single viable alternative to YouTube at this point in time. Alternative frontends don’t count, since they still rely on YouTube to work. None of the creators I watch upload anywhere else.
