PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
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...
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, kodi, etc.
You had me unti kodi was lumped in with google maps?
"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.
-
has he stopped "accidentally" naziing?
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.
-
Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
Even just mirroring.
Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven't uploaded a video since like the 10s

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.
... what?

It still baffles me why anyone likes him in the first place tbh
I can kinda see it, though he's not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.

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.
It's also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.
-
We will read the headline, and possibly every single word in it. Like 75% of the time, at least.
I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

started with minecraft & redstone, now linux & degoogling, can we extrapolate that in some years pewd's gonna start hrt lol
The programming socks will be the first sign.

It's not easy, but you're not guaranteed to end up
either lose your shirt, sell your business, or become entrenched in a position whose inertia is difficult to break
It depends on the personalities involved and the business model they go with.
Nebula has done really well with consistent growth as a premium offering where people pay one subscription fee to get ad-free videos from exclusively high-quality creators across a quote broad range of niches, in addition to bonus extras and Nebula Originals.
Dropout seems to have a lot of success with a range of mostly unscripted comedy, centred around a core cast of trusted comedic actors with a larger range of guests.
Floatplane, on the other hand, seems much less successful, probably owing to its business model being basically Patreon's, but only for video. Instead of the wide range of content you get for surprisingly reasonable amounts of Nebula and Dropout, Floatplane ends up looking very expensive if you want to support more than one or two creators. Plus the creators on it haven't got the same degree of trust; it ends up reeking of the sort of techbro vibes that people are explicitly trying to get away from.
I'm sure these are accurate statements, but the fact remains that I've never heard of dropout or nebula. At all.
And the only reason I've heard of floatplane is via LTT and Jeff Geerling, and I don't actually use the platform itself.
That's what I mean about inertia, google has it now and can coast for years on people just being lazy and staying with YouTube. That alone will be a loooong hill to climb for any other platforms.
LTT seems to have enough clout and has worked out a survivable business model, but notice that they remain on YouTube to capture and keep new views.

And you can take a hike

... what?
they're responding to other comments, like about Pewdiepie being a nazi.
-
Waiting for the episode where he finds out who owns YouTube ðŸ«
Wait till you find out you can use your brain
-
If you don't let people make mistakes, change, and grow, you're living a petty, sad life.

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.

Accurate once again
so much better

i get it, and don't mind seeing him these days, but I don't seek him out.

wrote last edited by [email protected]maybe read the headline and the comments, but only like 30% before i react. I guess 75% for the headline maybe.
