YouTube

   YouTube (also JewTube { Lol jewtube.com actually exists. ~drummyfish} or
   just YT) is a huge, [1]censored [2]proprietary [3]capitalist video
   [4]consuming "website"/platform, since 2006 seized by the [5]Google
   terrorist organization. It has become the monopoly "video content
   platform", everyone uploads his videos there and so everyone is forced to
   use that awful shitty site from time to time to view some tutorial or
   whatnot, but it makes your brain soft. YouTube is based on content
   consumerism, aggressive predatory [6]marketing, [7]copyright trolling,
   propaganda and general abuse of its [8]useds -- it is financed from
   surveillance-powered ads as well as sponsor propaganda inserted into
   videos. The place is extremely [9]toxic, radioactive and more dangerous
   than Chernobyl in terms of probability of acquiring brain [10]cancer, the
   propagandists ("content creators") are unbelievably ugly abominations you
   must start to hate even from just seeing a video thumbnail. Alternatives
   to YouTube, such as [11]bitchute, the "rightist" YouTube, never really
   caught on very much -- YouTube is sadly synonymous with online videos just
   as Google is synonymous with searching the web. This is of course
   extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely bad.

   YouTube used to be the place for retards who couldn't keep attention long
   enough to read a book but today's retard it too stupid even for watching
   YouTube's 3 minute video, which is why [12]TikTok with its 1 second videos
   is gaining rapid popularity instead: [13]zoomer can't hold attention for
   longer than 9 seconds or wait for a new video longer than 3 seconds --
   TikTok keeps up with this mental limitation of today's youth.

   Just one of countless damages YouTube has done to society is establishing
   videos as standard medium of any form of communication and information
   storage -- back in the day Internet was mostly text-based, sometimes there
   was an image or video of course, but only when needed. Since YouTube's
   rise to fame a lot of information has just moved to videos, even that
   which suffer by this format, e.g. books, announcements, notes,
   presentations, tutorials, pure audio and so on. All of this [14]bloat of
   course makes the information hard to index and search, store, process,
   view on weak devices, it wastes enormous amounts of bandwidth, computing
   power and so forth. Thanks YouTube.

   { https://www.vidlii.com seems alright though, at least as a curiosity.
   Anyway if you need to watch YouTube, do not use their website, it's shitty
   as hell and you will die of ad cancer, rather use something like invidious
   or youtube-dl. Here is an awesome hack I discovered to search only old
   videos on youtube! The new shit is just unwatchable, there's clickbait,
   sponsors, propaganda, SJW shit everywhere, thankfully you can just exclude
   any year from the search with with "-year" (at least for now), for
   example:
   https://yewtu.be/search?q=free+software+-2023+-2022+-2021+-2020+-2019+-2018+-2017+-2016+-2015+-2014+-2013+-2012+-2011+-2010+-2009&page=1&date=none&type=video&duration=none&sort=relevance.
   UPDATE: actually you can even just use before:YEAR in the search, TIL.
   Enjoy. ~drummyfish }

   What are the alternatives to YouTube? We'll only leave a brief paragraph
   here for wannabe YouTube alternatives come and go faster than a [15]zoomer
   changes genders. Best alternative to watching videos is reading [16]books
   or watching clouds in the sky, but we'll stick to "watching videos on the
   Internet" here. Also bear in mind that if you have to watch YouTube, use
   alternative YouTube [17]frontends, which are normally [18]FOSS -- e.g.
   Invidious, piped, HookTube or FreeTube -- these let you access YouTube's
   videos via less [19]bloated and more "privacy-friendly" interface, also
   filtering out ads and so on, more hardcore people use [20]CLI tools such
   as [21]youtube-dl to directy download the videos and watch them in native
   players. Likely the most notable [22]FOSS alternative to YouTube is
   [23]PeerTube, a [24]federated [25]P2P video platform, however for intended
   use it requires [26]JavaScript (there is a way to download videos without
   JS but it's discouraged) and there are other issues that make it unusable
   ([27]SJW censorship, videos load extremely slowly, ...). If you use
   PeerTube, don't use the lesbian instances, look up the uncensored ones.
   Mainstream proprietary alternative to YouTube is Vimeo, Bitchute is the
   "rightist" YouTube alternative (quite shitty TBH). [28]Internet Archive
   has many video, especially old ones -- this is quite nice alternative.
   Vidlii is proprietary but oldschool site that tries to replicate old
   YouTube for the nostalgia, it has its own videos and small, dedicated
   community and very low censorship, it is pretty nice, with 360p videos and
   all; a site very similar to Vidlii it Bitview.

   In November 2021 YouTube removed the dislike count on videos so as to make
   it impossible to express dislike or disagreement with their propaganda as
   people naturally started to dislike the exponentially skyrocketing shit
   and immorality of content [29]corporations and [30]SJWs started to force
   promote on YouTube (such as that infamous Lord of the Rings series with
   [31]"afro american" dwarves that got like a billion dislikes [32]lmao). In
   other words capitalism has made it to the stage of banning disagreement
   when people started to dislike the horse shit they're being force fed.
   This was met with a wave of universal criticism but of course YouTube told
   people to shut up and keep consuming that horse excrement -- of course
   [33]zoomers are just brainless zombies dependent on YouTube like a street
   whore on heroin so they just accepted that recommendation. Orwell would
   definitely be happy to see this.

   [34]LMAO, as of 2022 YouTube has become the kingdom of [35]clickbait. If
   you're living in the future and haven't seen this, you wouldn't believe
   how ridiculously fucked up it is, the platform is quite literally UNUSABLE
   (but it's still consumable and addictive to idiots so it [36]works) -- ALL
   videos, including (and especially) those of the "serious" YouTubers (like
   mr. Veritasium), put absolutely misleading and downright made up lying
   thumbnails and titles, the videos have [37]zero [38]correlation with how
   they're presented. Every second a new video is uploaded titled "THE
   BIGGEST THING IN HISTORY OF EVER JUST HAPPANED" or "THIS NEW THING WILL
   CHANGE EVERYTHING FOREVER", then then next second another one etcetc.,
   basically according to YouTube every second the most important thing in
   history is happening. Additionally the majority of thumbnails has to be
   occupied by some [39]femoid's breasts, even "educational [40]science
   videos", so as to force children to click it and masturbate (YouTube can
   really be seen as a soft [41]porn site now). Everyone has to do it because
   [42]everyone does it. The YouTube slave shitheads are constantly bothering
   you and trying to trick you into "audience interaction" because that's
   what the algorithm pushes them to do with threats of starvation ("I think
   1 + 1 = 3, please let me know in the comments if you disagree"). YouTube
   is not a place to find something useful, it's a place mostly littered by
   traps set up to exploit you and you can only hope to maybe get something
   small back for letting yourself be raped (well, basically like in any
   other for profit place). In other words [43]capitalism is once again
   working as expected. Yeah and also ALL videos include sponsored content,
   again even the "educational science videos" that children are forced to
   watch at schools etc. -- this is in addition to "normal" ads that randomly
   play during the videos.

   A typical 2022 YouTube video now looks like this:

     * title: THEY SAID A WOMAN COULDN'T CODE MINECRAFT IN 24 MICROSECONDS SO
       I PROVED THEM WRONG, ALSO LIFE FOUND ON MARS
     * thumbnail: bikini [44]MILF, nipples half showing, overly excited face
       as if having a stroke, pointing at aliens playing Minecraft
     * content: 10 minutes of pre-video unskippable ads, tranny shows up
       urging you to buy premium membership on Nord VPN, 10 minutes of
       unskippable ads for tranny underwear, tranny opens up C# [45]IDE that
       loads for 30 minutes, clicks the "generate game with AI" button, the
       computer crashes, "sorry for clickbait", 10 minutes of post video ads,
       "like, comment, give me money on patreon, subscribe, click the bell
       button, go to settings and check I want to see subscriptions I
       subscribe to, go to advanced setting and click I really really really
       want to see my subscriptions I really do and will suck your dick",
       next video loads without asking, volume sets itself to 300%, browser
       close button disappears
     * reactions: trending video, 10 billion likes, dislikes not shown,
       comments disabled so that people can't warn others it's a waste of
       time

   YouTube is also a [46]copyright [47]dictatorship, anyone can take down any
   video containing even the slightest clip from a video he uploaded, even if
   such use would legally be allowed under [48]fair use and even if that user
   doesn't have any copyright to enforce (YouTube simply supposes that
   whoever uploads a video to their site first must have created that video
   as a whole and holds a godlike power over it), i.e. YouTube is [49]de
   facto making its own copyright laws which are much more strict that they
   are in real life (which is hard to imagine but they managed to do it). In
   other words there is a corporation that makes laws which effectively are
   basically just like normal laws except they don't even pass any law making
   process, their evaluation doesn't pass through justice system (courts),
   and the sole purpose of these laws is to rape people for money that goes
   solely to pay for YouTube CEO's whores and private jets. A reader in the
   future probably won't believe it, but there are even people who say that
   "this is OK" because, quote, I shit you not, """[50]they're a private
   company so they can do whatever they want""". Yes, such arguments have
   come out of some lifeform's mouth. That probably implies a negative
   [51]IQ.
