PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
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.

This post did not contain any content.
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
-
It still baffles me why anyone likes him in the first place tbh
i get it, and don't mind seeing him these days, but I don't seek him out.
-
We will read the headline, and possibly every single word in it. Like 75% of the time, at least.
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.

Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
How about LBRY? Do you think it's a sane alternative to YT? I also think peertube is the true freedom, though, I was surprised how quick videos load on odysee
-
Why would anyone watch a pewdiepie video?
because people like things.
-
I prefer not to use youtube
then don't ask questions you can find out in other comments.
-
enough with PewDiePie posts!
Just block his name, I have trump and Elon and varations of their names black listed so posts with them don't show up on my feed.

- Tailscale
- Selfhosted on SteamDeck

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.
Grow up. he did.
-
bro, open your mind for a minute. Privacy is for everyone. And we need masses wanting privacy otherwise nothing changes.
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.
-
anything but google maps, kodi, etc.
You had me unti kodi was lumped in with google maps?
yeah, that was ambiguously worded.
-
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.
yeah. poorly worded.
