How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?
watch the video and you will find out wink
I prefer not to use youtube
Figure it out then
I don’t care if enough so I would, I just found this amusing
freetube, invideous, if someone reuploads it somewhere on peertube, ytdlp, ytfzf, etc many ways to consume youtube content without google making a dime of you or tracking you. I'm lazy so I just use freetube.
invideous and similar can be used
Literally his income source
I understand why he doesn't leave youtube but why not reposts on alternatives for people who want to limit the use of youtube
He probably would. He's on his foss arc. Give him some time.
Sure, but other platforms do exist, and he could post to those as well as YouTube. Other creators do, such as Gardiner Bryant to PeerTube and Louis Rossmann to Odyssee.
If he really hated Google, wouldn't he be motivated to invest his time into its competitors? Maybe he does, idk, I didn't watch the video because I'm not a fan of his style and I generally try to avoid YouTube.
don't make me tap the meme again
