PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
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.

Articles too much time too, so I made you this
- Google bad, tracking sucks
- Android -> graphene
- Keep -> joplin
- Docs -> nextcloud
- Gmail -> proton
- GMaps -> car GPS
- Tailscale
- Selfhosted on SteamDeck
Not all heros wear capes

-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...

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.

? I want the answer. I am not sure if you are saying he is a nazi or he is not.

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.
I wasn't aware of that, so thanks for the additional context!
-
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.

Wait till you find out you can use your brain
No you see, if you can't do something absolutely perfect then why do it at all?

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
LBRY is cool but I'm honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It's mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.
Peertube has actual large creators who aren't weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there's kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users
