Good - the more aggressive YouTube is, the more attractive the options become.

What options?
- Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year ago
Mostly PeerTube and Odysee. Although even non-free competition (like Dailymotion and Vimeo) growing still helps, putting a dent on the botnet’s monopoly.

What do you mean by “botnet’s monopoly.”
- Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year ago
Botnet = Google/Alphabet. It has simply too much control over video sharing (and other things).

How is it a botnet?
- Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year 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.

Idk, 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.
