Shortstack ( @Shortstack@reddthat.com ) English7•11 months agoAnd yet I still haven’t seen a single ad in years or one of these new warnings to allow ads. Thank god for ublock origin
Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) English3•11 months agoGood - the more aggressive YouTube is, the more attractive the options become.
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) English3•11 months agoWhat options?
Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months agoMostly PeerTube and Odysee. Although even non-free competition (like Dailymotion and Vimeo) growing still helps, putting a dent on the botnet’s monopoly.
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) English1•11 months agoWhat do you mean by “botnet’s monopoly.”
Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months agoBotnet = Google/Alphabet. It has simply too much control over video sharing (and other things).
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) English1•11 months agoHow is it a botnet?
Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months ago“Botnet” is just a pejorative nod against Alphabet and the fact that, for all intents and purposes, it controls your computer quite a bit. It is not a real botnet.
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) English1•11 months agoIdk, just seems like an odd word choice when it’s obviously not a botnet.
And it doesn’t control your computer. It spies on you a lot but it doesn’t actually control your computer.
