I'm sure all the reactions will be nothing but respectful and factual, and not riddled with festering teenage emotions.

Love this, although I think he will realise pretty quickly that hosting on his >!Steam deck!< might have some drawback haha (I'm thinking storage here)

It would be a larger influx of bullshit than even Reddit was able to pull off.
Dude, eff that, influx of bullshit from reddit would be nowhere near. It wouldn't be problem of bullshit. It would be problem of scale. Remember how instances panicked and had to grow at neckbreaking speed during reddit exodus?
This would be bigger, while at the same time having a lot less long-term benefits because a lot of his audience wouldn't stick around.

I prefer not to use youtube
invideous and similar can be used

Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.
Edit: I noticed it's not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.

I see you didn't make it 40s into the video.
Why would i feed youtube?
Let me know when it's on peertube, another video-centric platform.
Lemmy's text-centric. -
anything but google maps, kodi, etc.
You had me unti kodi was lumped in with google maps?
You need to work on that reading comprehension.

Listen, we don't read the article and we don't watch the video before commenting. Maybe we're reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.
We will read the headline, and possibly every single word in it. Like 75% of the time, at least.

It will stay up. Do you know how many YouTube videos there are badmouthing Google? They don't care so long as you're watching them.
All I know is they took down the ones by LTT and Jeff Geerling, I can only assume it was due to the larger audience those two attracted. Now imagine PewDiePie...

Exactly!
So has anyone tried this pewpowpie recipe and does it taste any good?Yo, I love pudding pie. Is it chocolate?

Accurate once again
Correlation is not causation.

He also paid some Africans to hold an anti-semitic sign. To prove people will do things for money I think?
I think his reasoning was to see how far the sign holding folks would go for money, and they apparently didn't really have any limits. Should he have done and shown it on youtube is the thing he can be criticized for

Nah - the english language is just full of ambiguities that people tend to understand through context or intonations from speaking that are lost in text

hosting their videos on their own website
I love that entrepreneurial attitude. If an online service is unsatisfactory, just develop your own software from the ground up and provision the infrastructure from your pocket. Car industry sucks? Just build your own car! GPU prices high? Grab a soldering iron and a handful of sand, how hard could it be?
Things are always more complex than they appear. The whole point of services like Youtube and Patreon is to offload that complexity onto the provider in exchange for a fee (or some other form of compensation) from the user. Just look at how many early Lemmy instances have gone offline because of the overwhelming financial or administrative burden. Hate the companies all you like, and by all means look for independent solutions, but don't pretend they offer no value whatsoever.
There are open source alternatives that already exist.

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

Linus did 3 videos on "how to degoogle your life" and only 1 was taken down. That one told people how to circumvent YouTube's platform and monetary system which violated the community guidelines.

"anything but google maps" is its own list item, not starting a new list. That list just doesn't have a googlemaps alternative in mind so they used that.
