  • I stopped using YouTube. It’s not hard. Especially when you come to terms with the fact that every video you watch is just telling them you’re okay with what they do.

    We seem to have no problem boycotting things we either don’t use, or can easily replace. Don’t like a store? There’s plenty others that will be happy to sell you the exact same items….

    But when it comes to actually boycotting significant things in our lives because they are toxic?

    Naaaah…


  • A lack of alternatives is not an excuse to continue using something you don’t like. I honestly don’t get the culture around all the YouTube hate.

    I don’t use shit that I don’t like. I don’t support things that I don’t agree with the practices of. YouTube treats its users and creators like shit. Know what?

    They’ll continue to do so as long as people keep using their platform. That’s how it goes. It’s not going to change. And every workaround that is created, will get squashed.

    People that are always complaining about it, and then continuing to use it just blows my mind. I’ll never understand it- even when people try and justify it. And that there are no alternatives basically just says that you’re willing to eat whatever shit they serve you, so long as you get your fix.

    It’s an addiction at this point. You’re willfully enduring shit you hate so you can have moments of shit you enjoy.

    I know your game bud. It’s the same one played by all the kids in .ml, and the same one that MAGA plays.

    You tie people up with demands of proof, then you attack the sources or make up bullshit examples of how it’s misunderstood using bad logic or anecdotal rhetoric- or you just whatabout it until people give up- thus prompting you to pat yourself on the back while donning a giant “I win” sign.

    I don’t play little edgelord games. You want the proof go find it. It’s plastered everywhere. Now go on and do your little “I won!” dance and say “SEE! Because you won’t prove it it means it’s not true!” and walk away.

    Or just walk away.







  • Why do people still use YouTube if they hate it so much?

    EDIT: Downvoted for simply asking a question lol! Every time a post or article is shared that shows how YouTube is a massive shitshow, everyone is quick to complain and whine about how awful it is.

    But the moment you offer the option to just stop using it- they turn on you. Look at these comments justifying being shit on.

    But but but…. Muh videos!l”

    When your impulses are stronger than your ability to stop, it’s called an addiction. And for the record, life before YouTube was not hard. Maybe give it a try.

    Fucking hilarious.

    Why don’t you go and read the modlogs yourself. Then head over to any one of the several communities dedicated to calling their shit out.

    Closing your eyes and plugging your ears doesn’t make things not happen. You should take this newfound knowledge back to the hive and spread it around. Bets that you get banned for it
