    Sure, but other platforms do exist, and he could post to those as well as YouTube. Other creators do, such as Gardiner Bryant to PeerTube and Louis Rossmann to Odyssee.

    If he really hated Google, wouldn't he be motivated to invest his time into its competitors? Maybe he does, idk, I didn't watch the video because I'm not a fan of his style and I generally try to avoid YouTube.

      Oh shit is that what the issue was??? Thank you for explaining! I thought it was literally blacklisted like that. I told those worthless dumbfucks to whitelist my domain and that shit just kept happening—and they made me do all the work every time. It was exhausting and frustrating. I’ll look into runbox, thanks again.

      I wonder if there might be some super common spam tlds like .xyz or .ru or something, but generally, yeah, custom domain isn’t the issue. Some other options are Migadu, mailbox.org, mxroute, and Tuta all seem like decent companies. A lot of others “also do” email hosting, like porkbun and OVH. Plenty of companies host their email with all these companies and have mostly clear sailing without being spam binned.

        "calls another YouTube channel bitch lasagna"
        that was years ago right?
        These days he seems more calm and almost no toxicity whatsoever other than rarely saying shit, fuck, or generic swear word.

          Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.

          I personally picked Mailfence, but I saw both runbox and mailfence are really good. Tho Mailfence is a bit more expensive

            I always thought it was a federated kind of platform. Not really p2p. Why do you need an instance if its p2p?

            It's p2p between the watchers, but files are hosted on a server (an instance of Peertube). With just one person watching a video there's no p2p, only server-client.

              He's one of the biggest and most loved youtube personalities. He has influence, and him saying this kind of stuff is a big deal. Pretending he's a nobody shows that you're simply ignorant.

              Ignorant is everyone like you, worshipping these useless "celebrities", my dear clown. Now, you can go back licking YouTubers' ass and proudly let everyone know.

                Can we stop with the narrative that corporations and celebrities are doing good? This guy is 110 Million people away from doing something for privacy and linux, once he makes 110 million and one person switch to linux or using a youtube alternative he will have done some work in the positive.

                I mean... glass half full or half empty... You can appreciate how enthusiastic he was about it and how many people saw the video, or you can just complain...
                Btw. if he should do more, it will be the positive feedback he gets about it, not the negative one which is just demotivating...

                  This isn't a random youtuber and his video isn't clickbait. You not understanding why people are talking about him posting this video is not the same as these discussions being pointless or spam.

                  for your generation maybe?

                  You're right, i can't understand how someone can make a name by streaming himself playing games and then become a reliable source for browser comparisons or linux. I can't understand why anybody would like to watch someone else playing a "video game" either, but there is a whole generation that grew up with that. I have streamer neighbors. It's not only that i can't understand, but i think of these activities as pathetic.

                  let's end this useless conversation here. You can keep talking about him all your life, i prefer to filter him.

                  There was an interesting podcast about mr.Beast on the Guardian this week. I was never interested in his videos either, I remember reading his Wikipedia page some years ago to understand what he's about. For me, they're both negligible symptoms of something going really wrong. Their analysis may be interesting, they on the other hand are not.

                    "I'm incapable of understanding the nuance of someone with a lot of influence speaking out in favor of a topic I advocate for because I'm ignorant and judgemental towards certain activities and people who make a living off of them"

                    Yeah okay, bud. Good mentality you got there. But you're right, this conversation is pointless, so let's end it here.

                          He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

                            The Proton CEO praised Trump and his control and choices regarding IT and antitrust some months ago. People said it was a "one-off" but then the Proton board backed up the CEO. Writing's been on the wall for a while.

                                        He's on his dad arc. I stopped watching his japan videos cause i don't like vlogs but it's insane to me how he fell into the foss rabbit hole. Many of us can relate to that here.

                                          He never was. When teenagers used to scream n-word for shit and giggles, he was monetarily incentivised to do stupid stunts. No belief behind, other than to have a laugh and jump in views. When he crossed the line and was critised for it, he backed off, apologised and learned from his mistakes.

                                          But people love draging it out each and every single time he does anything, be it good or bad.
