I dream of a world where we are free to create art without having dance for Capital

I think of them when I dream about them facing a firing squad.

This is such a weird take. There is 20 years of content on youtube and not just like, unboxing videos or AI generated kid stuff or whatever. Theres family recordings and DIY vids for literally everything, to college courses from like, Yale and Harvard, to vocational videos I use for my job. All of the videos that radicalized me into an Ancom on are youtube. Every song ever recorded, including rare songs like second hand accounts of slave field hymns. Old, obscure movies, especially where the copyright holder doesnt give a fuck, are available for free. Small indie projects, like small groups producing shorts, and small bands making their own music, are on youtube. And yes, millions of hours of people playing video games, or sports high lights, or wrestling high lights, or video essays or whatever, are all on youtube.

The world is the way it is. Do I wish the web was more diversified? I do. Do I wish Alphabet didnt have us over a barrel like this? Of course. But youtube is almost a utility at this point; its like saying dont use the roads bro, eventually they will listen to us and put in light rail tracks. I would love for that to happen but you gotta get to work in the mean time.

Youtube doesn’t pay attention to what ads get approved, or where they get served. Ive heard stories of people getting served two hours full amateur movies as ads, Ive heard of people getting soft core porn served as an ad, to actual scams and crypto pitches. It’s like Facebooks new AI enabled algorithm. There is actual danger, considering children and the elderly get sucked in to youtubes black hole?

how much would it be get a reader? What skills would I need to keep resetting the amount?

Are you sure the key is universal? I dont need the make and model?

I know the feeling. I went to middle school with Hillel Wayne

Man, I wonder if there will be freetube support for DeArrow that looks great

this is the title of my next light novel

I was going to ask, does anyone know how to put open source software on an HP printer?

I feel like I reading someone masturbating

I mean, that would be the initial fear, but I’m not sure how that would matter. Threads can defederate from Lemmy.nsfw but lemmy.world can still federate both.

Maybe I dont understand something

free tube!

tell me more about this Mods and Custom Clients? What should I search?

This is true. I have been having a GREAT time with Freetube

If you go through the front page, there is usually only 100 shows the platform is pushing, ad nauseam. Like the algorithm is maybe some shows it thinks youll like, or shows they want to astroturf. I would really like a way to go into the dregs, the shit, the stuff netflix thinks is at the bottom of my metrics. Granted, piracy doesn’t do this either (lol how would that even work? I put everything on that server myself) but I would have considered keeping my subscription if they did.

Invidious is an old standby

Ive been having trouble with freetube, the videos just try to load indefinitely.

I keep wondering why people even bother with spotify. Like, even on the go, I just pirate these things.
