~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~
~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~
~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

MODERATORS
The only thing that I noticed that likely violates YT TOS is LTT mentioning alternate YT frontends, e.g. FreeTube, LibreTube, and Invidious.
This being enough for taking down a video, not just demonitizing, makes sense in the context of YT cracking down on third party frontends. How long until YT uses DRM?
The problem is that the advertising model isn't scaling. It cost exponential amounts of money to host higher quality content but the ads make the same. They are bleeding money like crazy. And that's not just YouTube as all of Googles business model is in question.
Somehow I have a feeling that Degoogle your life videos are not something Google cares for
