Does anybody else find it weird that we're boycotting one mega corp then using another mega corp's platform to view this?
Yes. The economy is impossible to navigate 100% of the time with your ethics fully intact. There are no perfect answers, only better ones.
I encourage you and everyone to avoid black-and-white thinking about this, and instead, invite a nuanced approach. Strive to make better decisions, but embrace the fact that perfection is impossible. Compromise doesn't undo your ethical fiber, but do be aware of the consequences of the choices you make.
Edit: I'm around if anyone wants a deeper convo about this.
i agree with your sentiment, but misunderstand the 'confusion' (definately wrong word, sorry) about the source being on yt.
of course one mega corp is going to utilise another mega corps infrastructure. these institutions must back each other, forcing customers to go to their friends store is better (and cheaper) for them in every imaginable sense.
i guess what the crux of my misunderstanding is why the source even matters. really the source is abc or whatever, so uploading it to peertube or archive.org is better anyway, right?
idk, let me know if i understood or not.
Because we boycotted Disney and caused financial harm to them, inciting a sliver of change then turned around and flooded YouTube with revenue from our views giving an equally terrible company money while they actively contribute to the same terrible ideologies as Disney does.
Bro just discovered capitalism. Are you going to throw out your phone too? Or do you draw the line at child labor and blood metals?
Yeah! I just threw my phone out! Thanks for the pro tip, bro!
Download the video file with yt-dlp and seed a torrent. Upload it to a peertube instance or host your own. Be the change you want to see.
Does anybody else find it obnoxious when people only point out problems for doomerism circlejerking but do nothing to be part of or spread awareness of the solution?
Peertube instances
How to download YouTube videos
How to create torrents
Where's the official video hosted? I forget.
That’s why you are being told how to download it and host it somewhere else.
It's almost as if we didn't have any other way to view it.
Not with that attitude! Someone else already linked the video, anyone could upload it to a Peertube then send us the link. Or heck, dailymotion. I hear it's back.
Welcome to dystopia.
Freedom of choice. Only the best for the land of the free
Illusion of choice.
Feel free to create a new platform.
Lemmy barely works and it just shuffles text for a few hundred thousand users. Try creating a 4k video platform for billions without "being a megacorp".
There's a weird amount of support for YouTube in these replies.
The business direction, moderation, scams and copyright strike weaponization deserve their criticism, but on an engineering level it is an amazing feat. I'm still impressed how they manage to make it work at the scale it is.
Feel free to cross-post the video to some Peertube instance and send us the link!
Where do I get the video?

Cool thanks, but the origin of the video is still YouTube which is my point...
Then you don't understand your own point. It sounds like your complaint is about where the video is hosted. Host it elsewhere and that should fix your issue. Is your real problem with the content of the video then?
No... My problem is that YouTube is no better ethically than ABC, yet here we are using their platform without question.
Yeah, that's why the suggestion was to host it on Peertube. I really don't understand
It's ok no one expects you to.
Lol ok. So you're just here to be a prick. Good to know.
I'm not boycotting Disney anymore. What they did was so far beyond the pale, it's definitely deserved it (and I did). But finding a mega corp that has directly defied Trump at all is refreshing and imo should be positively reinforced.
For the record, I'm giving them less than I did before. But incentives work and we need them to support basic rights.
You do you.
Tell me when you find utopia. Until then, shut up and pick the lesser of evil choices that you've always had to choose from anyway.
What a weird response. Are you Mr. YouTube or something? John YouTube?
Johan YouTube, everything was invented by someone named Johan. Ask Johan Ice.
