    If there's an article with words, can you pass it along? I'm not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.

    Life's too short to listen to people who talk slow.

      Yeah this is why it's so offputting seeing so much praise for him here. I don't believe he's ever outright apologized and owned up to what he's said and done in the past (I could be wrong though?). Last I checked the dude was literally a neo nazi.

      he has. people just prefer to go on judging. how you supposed to feel good about yourself if the people you hate for hating stopped hating?

        I really don't get how so many people here are so happy that a Nazi is using Linux and doesn't like Google anymore. That's not the kind of clown I'd want representing or being a spokesperson for my interests and it's really making me second guess the people here.

        Edit: @[email protected] 's comment has provided info I didn't have, and recontextualizes the attitudes here I wasn't understanding, so now I get why there's support for this.

          I definitely agree with you, but I remember how Digg & then Reddit both went to shit once the masses started to use them. Same with Facebook.

          I feel like if we all spread out between multiple platforms, none will become big enough for the enshitification to hit them.

              this is probably the least helpful de-googling video

              I don't think it was supposed to be particularly helpful. It's more of him sharing his passion with his audience. Which isn't going to be interesting if you don't care about him.

              Entirely fair, I generally can't stand him, hence just reading his caption data 🙂

              He hit the mark on a few things but his hot takes were pretty hot.

                I don't think they're including Kodi with Google maps, I think they're just continuing with the list.

                      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.

                        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.

                                Sauce plus and dropout as well. Basically run by youtubers to make content without relying on YouTube. A lot of this is running on pre-existing tech for running a streaming service and I assume it's dependent on AWS (Amazon) hosting but yeah lots of smaller paid streaming services run by youtubers because YouTube sucks. I believe sauce plus is essentially the same as Floatplane on the backend, they mentioned working with LTT to make it.

                                    Might wanna take your own advice. For example, instead of making a drive by shit post, you could have done what another commenter did and actually explain why people are on board with this guy. That person's comment had me reconsider my position. Your comment just makes you look like an ass.

                                      He got backlash from his own fans from all edgy and toxic jokes.
                                      I remember some of his Indian fans are angry for his PewDiePie vs T-series stuff (T-series: Indian music company).

                                      I think around 2019, he apologized and recognized all the edginess he did, and promised to do better.

                                      For the last five years, all of his content are basically wholesome family stuff or creative activities. Even his recent art journey video are widely shared among young art communities that's not even his fans.

                                        He also paid some Africans to hold an anti-semitic sign. To prove people will do things for money I think?

                                        The entire thesis of that video was "fiver and things like that lead to exploitation of the global poor", the sign thing was just a catchy clickbait thing.
