yknow tbph boycott or no boycott im never going to use youtube ever again for anything. i mean, look at how much power it has to control the development of technology and make unilateral decisions for the entire internet. it's a monopoly, no matter how many smaller video hosts there are.
and we're not even TALKING about the fungibility of reality with youtube's new compulsory generative AI "enhancer" that it's rolled out to shorts and will soon roll out to the entire host. smoothing wrinkles, blurring backgrounds, changing skintone, enhancing smiles, there is no reality anymore. the internet is dead and google killed it, yet its shadow still looms.
basically, the entire internet could be distilled down into wikipedia, discord, and youtube, and no one would even know it.
