Youtube and adblock

[Adolf Oliver Bush]

I would love to put YouTube in my "Stuff I Used To Do" bin and I've felt that way since Google absorbed them into its blob of subsidiaries and cutouts.

To that end I've already mirrored my Misc.Derbis videos to Rumble and will continue to do so. I've even considered starting to post them only on Rumble but the sad truth is they don't (yet) have the reach that YouTube does, nor as wide a variety of content when I have the time to watch clips.

Here's to the day YouTube deservedly becomes superfluous.

MySpace mode? I'll drink to that.

I've toyed with the idea of checking the ToS of alternative sites to see how much YouTurd stuff I might archive. There's already a wealth of those aggregators on places like BitChute, Locals and Odyssee, I'm sure one or three more won'y break the server.

Whatever complaint people have about YT, it does offer variety.

A variety that shrinks daily as they regiment their content in new and censorious ways.

Youtube and companies suck Satan's fiery prick with little to no chasers or ice water....

Tb fair, whether you like YT or not, they still need to cover up their overheads.

They could always buy a few truckloads of pig manure.

I'm not exactly sure what that means.  On the good side it's already free with just some ads, or just $10 a month for hours of entertainment, meanwhile you spend less than 5mins eating your McDonalds combo.

I am not on youtube enough to justify spending a dollar on upgrades.

Free? Au contraire my good man, it is you who are the product in that arrangement. Fine if you're okay with that, but my asking price to have my perception of the world warped by that publisher's content is significantly higher than the simple and willing consumption of what they consider is "safe" for me to be exposed to.

I don't eat McDonalds on the regular either. Once in a pink fit as a matter of fact. Just as it is with YouTurd, I find Maccas to be unfulfilling and roughly akin to whoring myself to corporate interests. I leave my takeout sustenance to the few remaining mom and pop operations that are happy for my custom and who, as has happened on more occasions that I can count, return that custom when they figure they need my particular skillset or input. And I am more likely to be entertained with the free exchange of ideas than I am being told to fuck up and chow down mindlessly on statist-approved pudding.

That's just how I roll, but you do you (or them as the case may be) and good luck to you.

If you're not satisfied with it's content, no one is pointing a gun at your head, just saying.

Edit:  Political vids are hard not to be bias, but there's still a lot of educational and entertaining videos out there worth watching.  And my bad, at least you don't watch it nor complain about the ads at the same time.

That's not even the part I take most exception to.
It's the gathering, bundling, and selling of our data that gives me the sads. It's the cooperation/collusion with government and corporate entities that gives me the angries.

I can spot and either ignore or disregard the propaganda and bullshit.

It's the stuff I have no control over that makes me look to other options which themselves aren't perfect but YouTube has been around long enough to become thoroughly corrupted and that was only hastened when they were acquired by Google, the most obnoxiously multi-tentacled intrusive monstrosity on the internet.

I didn't say there was. What I said was that they could cover up their overheads in pig shit. You know, really shovel the dung on them. Perhaps it might even cover up the stink of their corrupt partnership with the puppet regime they've been using to destroy the United States with these last three years.

I understand what you mean when it comes to ungrateful traitors with intent to spread lies and one sided content to undermine the US, I don't get it either how is this accepted even with freedom of speech laws.

Differential enforcement my friend. In a captured political landscape, such a tool is one of many that are used to establish one's dominance and hegemony over dissenting voices.

The US is captured of course. She can break free of it, it only requires the willingness to do so.

It came back with a vengeance but then I emptied the firefox memory cache.

I don't waste enough time on YT to notice adblock.
