WHY DONT WE HAVE A MAINSTREAM ALTERNATIVE YET
By operating youtube at a loss for many years Google acted anticompetitively to kill competition or stop competition arising. Now that they've achieved that they can do what they like. Don't feel bad using ad blockers against this anti-capitalist company.
Final stage of enshittification, now they are allowing more right wing propaganda than normal on the channel
And suppression of comments, for all sorts of reasons. Words and phrases will constantly flag AI autoremoval.
I am in no way defending YouTube here, but how did it act anticompetitively?
FYI, this is currently happening with Uber.
I never felt bad abt that for a second. Like the thought never crossed my kind XD FUCK YOUTUBE!
