I don’t think that soviety is shit. I think we have done wonderful things in society. And we keep making it better. Every society has its problems, but there is a way to make them better.
Without society there wouldn’t be literature, medicine, knowlidge, science, etc.
Yes, there are bad things also, but as I said, we can and must make them better. And if you watch in the long run through history there is no better time to be living than now.
And when they try to force online ID bullshit I’ll permanently walk away. We don’t deserve the WWW if its just full of scammers. I’d rather rewatch my favorite anime for the millionth time.
However, if I can consume said content without giving money to companies who are going over and above to be anti-consumer? I’ll 100% take advantage of that.
If YouTube wants to go out of their way to make it harder for me to watch legally, I’ll go out of my way to watch illegally. You think I pay for 17 different streaming services for TV shows me or my partner want to watch? Fuck all that we pay for IPTV.
Pirates like me don’t want to have to jump hoops to watch your shit. But all these streaming platforms, Youtube, Twitch, the greed has become so hard to ignore that it’s impossible to rationalize paying them to fuck you anyway. Pay $18 a month for this service to watch this show, but this other show is on another service for another $16 a month. Fuck all that I’ll just open up whichever pirating site I have saved and download the fucking show in a half hour and toss it on my external HDD and watch it anyway.
I have no respect for companies that don’t respect their consumers.
“Content creators” lol. I mean, I guess there could be, but YT stopped being decent about 10 years ago, maybe longer. I haven’t used it but for an occasional video. Surprisingly, I haven’t missed it. There’s not much on YouTube I couldn’t get elsewhere, with less ads, and to the point vs a 10 minute video intro plus sponsor plugs, etc.
Aah, shit website but you still watch it… oh, the irony
Yet you participate in society. Curious.

Yup.
I think capitalism is shit but I’m still forced to participate in it. Until there is something better to use I’m stuck with YouTube.
Nobody is forcing you to consume content on the internet, this is a laughable defense. You aren’t forced by society or capitalism to watch YouTube.
You’re absolutely right.

There’s Peertube, Vimeo, and others
Okay. Let me know when the dozens of content creators I follow on YouTube migrate there.
