Very suspicious behavior from Bloomberg. I’m putting them on my block list
You must log in or # to comment.
bloombergs ties to nvidia are just the cherry on top. While I hope they don’t let them get away with it, I think ultimately the only move to beat the DMCA bs is to ditch yt as a platform, since its rigged in favor of rights holder pretenders. The USB stick idea is pretty clever.
Bloomberg is a parasite within the oligarch class.
Never forget who these people are. They are a class enemy and their shiti companies are used as tools of exploitation and oppression.
Never forget when they show you who they are.
They have staff to pay, there is no real alternative to YouTube unfortunately
Yes and google took care of it to stays this way by running yt at a loss for 10 years to kill all competition. Thanks capitalism. Any competitor would need to climb this mountain of 10 year investment billions before, having a chance of becoming a competitor, is not quite feasible. I’ve seen this trend time and time again people idolizing the golden days of a product when the company was out “acquiring users” when the product was great and fun to use before eventually becoming enshittifacted, not realizing they’ve been fooled. Its just rich people coaxing you in crushing the competition while running at a loss. The product was too good to be and you pay the price later because antitrust laws are a joke.
There’s multiple hundred seeders on the internet archive torrent for the video. There’s also multiple channels on YouTube histing reuploads.
The video is not going anywhere.
Do you have a link to get started? Would be happy to help
It would be awesome if they moved over to peertube at least as a mirrored source.
This is the class war… Never forget
There is no freedom of speech unless your speech is sanctioned by the corpo glowie regime
It’s always class warfare
Hopefully they setup a peertube.
So it can be unwatchable with buffering every 5 seconds at 360p?
Love me some alternative self host but every time I’ve ever tried any peertube instance the videos are unwatchable due to the painful slowness
That just means you’re not hosting your own instance&client. It takes me seconds to load on a popular video, at the most popular resolution.
If i have to host my own instance and client to get usable results it’s a non starter for 99% the population. I do want better than YouTube in terms of open and privacy but not if the only possible trade is removing all sense of usability
YouTube has been dominating 99% of it’s competition by taking 75+% revenues of everyone, analytics, and portfolio shenanigans.
It’s entirely upto you if you want to deal with a fascist website than dogfood your VOD experience.I’m not saying that they aren’t basically the antichrist. The problem is we need an actual good solution, just hard line telling people that this is evil so you should put in a shit ton of effort to not using it is just not realistic. It’s not going to sway people, i do use nebula and floatplane which i pay for. They have their own problems but they aren’t as bad as YouTube but more importantly they are usable.
It’s very sad that the people that have the skills necessary to actually make something open are always also just so Hardline head up their ass about self hosting everything. I can self-host plenty I have piped, immich, jellyfin, frontend replacements for pixiv, imgur and others as well as my own pastebin. I’m no stranger to self hosting but that doesn’t mean that I’m stupid enough to think that it’s a viable way to get rid of YouTube it’s just not
The best solution is everyone p2p 3-layer worldwide rountrips of server mirrors, so you get seeded by at the least 3 servers near your ISP. It’s as realistic as TOR already is: by mass volunteering.
it’s a viable way to get rid of YouTube it’s just not
Logistically, you have you math in reverse: it is precisely the demand for centralization that FashTube is keeping it’s control. If everyone with a computer hosted even 1GB of peertube, we can host our transnational on-Demand superseeders forever, and them some.
I usually defend press, but people at Bloomberg are very obsessive, manipulative and misleading.
Mike got it done
