PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
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.

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.
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.

-bro, but yeah, good point.

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.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of 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.
So is he a nazi or not?

This post did not contain any content.
People listen to mister nobodies on the internet like they are prophets...

So is he a nazi or not?

My own domain?!? Any suggestions??

They have. Nebula is biggest im aware of, floatplane is another.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.
